Question Highs for SPL?

I don't really get what makes good decibel readings. When measuring db's do only low frequencies matter or does having loud high's make a lot of difference? Considering it is called "sound pressure" i am guessing that only lows matter because I doubt that tweaters and mids really make much pressure but I want to know for sure.

come on ...dont patronize the man....

different sanctions have limits....
iasca....100HZ or lower
db drags ......80hz or lower
uasci....80hz or lower.....

highs will just get you disco'd as if you produce your score above those freq you register a score of 0.

does that answer your question.....
