The answer is simple.
Because we can. |
Not quite, Sam. Despite the 8000 W amplifier, the SPL might well be at realistic/sane levels.
The question is a little different: Why would you want to achieve an SPL that you cannot listen to even for a moment without becoming a medical emergency?
(Only at gunpoint would I do something as despicable).
We all know that many here at TBHP have done speeds in excess of 160 kmph. Most are aware of the danger. Yet, for that brief duration, there is a rush that is hard to beat. Also because an accident is not a GUARANTEE.
Not so with sound pressure level. 152.7 db SPL and you ARE going to the hospital and will: a) never again listen to any music in your life, and,
b) never (again?) experience the joy of a nagging wife!
