So thanks to the responses here, I decided to crank it up from my usual 30 to 40 today and I realized that I'm freakin' OLD! I listened to my system at 40 for about 5 mins before deciding that my ears couldn't handle it so I lowered it back down to 30. I know I know...weaksauce.

Well I wish I had the ML....stock stereo is TERRIBLE. It doesn't hit low range base and in all honesty...those "13" speakers don't do *****!!
Love my IS..hate my stereo. I envy you IS owners with ML (can watch dvd's too)
Oh and if memory serves correct...the stock stereo maxes out at 62..but don't try it..your not missing a thing.

I only 'bump' it loud when I'm speeding for some reason. HipHop makes me drive faster.

I keep mine at or below 30. With all the recent reports about early hearing loss in my generation, I'll save the damaging SPL's for the few concerts I go to. Kind of sad when you're already in your 30's and you need hearing aids. Heck, I even double-up on hearing protection (plugs and muffs) when I go to the range.
