You should have seen a feature on that on BBC (UK-station) a couple of weeks ago... Thet did a hearing test on a guy driving a Citroen Saxo (VERY small Hatchback), with over triple the value of the car in Stereo Equipment built in. Putting out over 110dB of noise. (World record is supposed to be over 155dB in a NON-purpose-built SPL-car) It turned out his hearing was starting to degrade in a certain frequency range. So this guy responds; "So you're saying that I should, like, double the amps in that range, so I can fully hear every note again?" In my case I HAVE to crank up the volume on my stereo these days; otherwise I cant hear it due to thet I'm using ear protectors when driving with the T-top off; the wind noise is unbearable without them when doing 100mph on the German "Autobahn" :-P For other idiotic cars have a look at http://www.ricecop.com or http://www.beaterz.com Have Fun!

SPL stands for Sound Pressure Level; some competitors build special cars for those contests, with plexi 2" windows. Bolts to keep the doors closed and no seats, so there's no sound absorption...
