Now forgive me, But I'm speaking from a car audio standpoint, 131db CD's..
YES..Actually there is one out there (name fails me now) that has pegged
135db 1w/1m. I have never herar of low frequency drivers playing that loud.
It would be great (for boomers)...can you imagine...131 db...1 watt..what 
would that be at 200
