Greetings!

No, I don't think I or my install is really competition class. I actually shuddered when I read those pressure levels!!! I like my hearing in-tact. 169db... Even your 112db sounds pretty scary... I would guess you don't normally listen to it at full volume. I might do OK in the installation category, but I have never calibrated for any of the others.

My main goal with the new speakers, etc., was to get clarity, and I have definately (vastly) improved there! It is nice going to the car, randomizing the entire empeg and hearing everything (from classical to folk to prog to rock) clearly with sharper definition than I have ever matched before (even on home systems with headphones). I now find myself smiling, even while driving to work!!! I strongly recommend to the people who were using stock speaker installs - DON'T. I was going to, but the difference is worth it!!!
