Default how many db's is your is hitting?

if you ever had your car metered and took a vid, let's see it. if you dont have a vid then score will do. just currious to who's doing what. i took 2nd place in a db drag hitting 141.5 ( beaten by a maxima also with 2 10's DD's) he hit 145.00. im not gonna try to beat that because the parts are starting to come loose in the trunk area and rear deck, even though i cut out the metal behind the rear seat. but it's loud enough for me and surely louder than the 4 twelves in most peoples rides that ive been in. i always have people who cant believe it's just 2 10" subs.

enjoy the video here on youtube and please reply with comments, thoughts or suggustions. p.s 3 parts to video if interested

Yes, the units you measure SPL in are called dB's.
