So I have a stock uconnect 8.4 with an added single JL10W3V32 in a sealed enclosure. Brought a db meter home from work and did some test on how loud the system is and measured 115 db.

How loud is your system?

I don't actually know. Had a phone App, but it didn't read high enough. Ordered a meter when I sound deadened, but showed up broken and I returned it and decided It didn't matter. Loud enough. I've had stereos in the past up to 146db, but would guess this one is around 125ish.

I have no idea what the decibels are, I don't have the equipment to test it, but I have an 840 watt amp powering Kenwood Excelon speakers and two JL subwoofers. I haven't gotten the volume level over 70% yet, it starts to hurt your ears at that point unless the windows are rolled down lol.

I woke up a few weeks ago and lost almost all my hearing in my right ear! It came back just about 2 days later thank god. I do have tinnitus, sucks.
Debating on adding a 12" sub cause i have it sitting around in a custom box but do my ears need it anymore....

not true.country music can't even be heard in my truck.
Want to bet? Bring your truck to me and I'll play a couple country songs that will hit base notes that no rock or rap will hit.

I listen to just about every genre in my truck. Mostly classic rock and old country. 99% of todays music is pure garbage. I can't even stand todays rock and hip hop.. Pure ****.... And that use of auto tune.... Proof that they can't sing

I went to a SPL show and had my truck metered. My truck is set up for SQ or Sound Quality. I did 118db.

Too loud when a song like Stairway To Heaven, Tom Sawyer and such is on! I was warned when I was younger that my loud music was going to make my ears ring, didn't listen (hard headed). They were right about the ringing but I still crank it up when songs like that come on. Guess I'm still hard headed! Lol

I am the same way! If you have XM rockbar is a really good channel. The fact that I can still hear is amazing lol. I listen to air guns all day and then blast my music. I have a Van Halen Diamond Dave problem, Motley Crue, and GNR problem when it comes to classic rock. Funny story our baby would start crying in the car on road trips. Blast Kashmir and he would stop. I used to play Led Zeppelin when she was pregnant with him.
