Is there a special sound loudness chart for car audio? Something like for how many hours you can listen to XXXDB's and not got any pernament ear damage.
Thank you

That will never happen. Psychologically, you may THINK you are reducing the output of your system, but the hearing loss will be masking the fact that you are continually raising the level... and doing further damage to your ears.

Wha...? what'd you say? Huh?

How's that sound for a lifetime of responses to ANYTHING people will be saying to you in 15 years? NOW is the time to start protecting your hearing... NOT later.

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."
