Obviously with a real signal through the system you could be over 100db with the dial at 0db.
I guess what I'm saying is, What Manual? The receiver manual? or the speaker manual? And how could either manufacturer have any clue what other components you're going to be using, and what kind of SPL you'll get?

It's Bush's fault. And the gun lobby.
