Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

What? I couldn't hear you...

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

so SPL competitors are reaching what levels of decibles? and what would you say the average joe like myself with a considerable system is capable of reaching?

With bass, IIRC almost 180db is the world record.  A "loud" Joe-Shmoe thumper system, ~130db...
