Love checking out all the builds here, but I honestly had a question - do you guys measure or target an amount of SPL often?

I took some measurements recently (REW, Umik-1, near field and headrest). With moderate gain and about 200 wrms a single 12 hits 125db at 40hz in my car (well sealed hatchback, LOT of cabin gain).

It would seem like with the 'big 3' upgrades, 1kW builds, and multiple big subs, people are hoping for north of 135db or so... You guys ok? I cannot handle music that loud (it will definitely also cause hearing damage).

Much love to the sub, just curious.
