I've just had the sound level of my stereo measured at a car show and it produced 127.4dB, is this good? I'm into in-car entertainment but I know nothing about sound off competitions and dB LEVELS.

I'm not into ICE much, but I did read in Revs magazine that they built a soundoff car and it got 140 decibels.

That's good enough, most of the db boys are now hitting 160db and around 150db can give you complete deafness if your exposed long enough !!! I think the record stands at 173.2 db's.
What speakers and amps you running.

127.4 is respectable indeed.
Decibels works weird and i cant remember exactly how but i think those jackhammer road drill things flirt with 100 decibels, you aint doin so bad. http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/smile.gif
Have a look at www.carsound.net (http://www.carsound.net)
The forum is really good for any sort of queries.

If I have Olly's system, I'd still be able to hear my sodding big ends rattling away. http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/wink.gif

Please take nothing I say literally; even I don't believe it.
If I had Olly's system I don't think I would hear much after a while.
