Well It seems my friends that own a nightclub down here in South Florida might just have something to brag about
Last night during sound setup, we put a Term Lab Meter in the middle of the dance floor on a six foot boom

They played a 60hz tone and it hit 174.3 for 4 seconds it hurt very badly, so I decide to ask him what he was running and it seems all his fullrange are JBL pro series 32 of them and 4-80 cubic foot sub cases with 6 RE Audio MT' 15's in each one so thats 24 subs with close to 75,000 watts of power

Sustained was reading between 133 - 147 depending on the song
His goal he said when he buys a bigger building was to have nearly 100 fullrange/hornsand subs with over 100,000 watts of power so he can hit well over 180db, his current setup has over 3 million invested in lights and sound, so Im figuring something close to 10 million to hit over 180db sustained

I never noticed how painfull it is to be in one place listing to music at 120+ db for 4 hours even when drinking with earplugs and everything is muffled and numb my god the pressure

His current setup is going to be featured in Nightclub and Bar Magazine in December as one of the loudest in the world, hes said the loudest is in  Ibiza spain where this guy has more money than most of the world and is always getting compaines to custom build him equipment

later all I need to go get my ears replaced

Nothing beats waking up to a horrible hang over and to top it off, not being able to hear.posted_image

All we ever worried about at the Frontier honky tonk was getting hit in the head with a beer bottle.posted_image
