Scott Ownes hits 181.9 at USACi finals

[MacLeod]

Wow!

181.9!

Thats just unreal!

I bet this dude breaks 190 before too long.

The loudest Ive ever heard was 170 and you could feel the ground shaking thru your feet! I couldnt imagine 182.

And with Pioneer subs too!! :eek:

Got a link? That's insane, it's got to be shaking loose the rivets and welds in whatever vehicle it's installed in. At what point do you reinfornce the windows?

[MacLeod]

Id say youd need to be sticking in plexiglass about 170 db. Ive seen cars hit 165 with stock windshields in but they flex like a mutha.

No link yet. This just happened this weekend at USACi World Finals in Kansas City and I caught it over the grapevine. Ill post a link as soon as I can find one.

Here is a little blurb on him on Pioneer's website.

you start cracking glass at 165ish.

Thats crazy. Ive been in a vehicle doing 160dB, 180 would actually kill you...

Guess his last name isn't "Ownes" for nothing...

I hate when people are too lazy to make sure they spell the title right in their threads.

What a lazy bastard!
