Loudest SQL?

What SPL is achievable from a daily driver/SQL type system?
In other words, if a system can play flat to 30 HZ, how loud can it be, as compared to a "One note wonder" SPL machine?

Doh!

But how loud? What kind of numbers?
And what kind of power required to do it?
I sat in the old Rockford van a couple of times with 54 speakers and 10,000 watts, and it sounded pretty cool, but I don't know how it did for SPL.
I think they had a dozen batteries or so on a slide out tray.
That was back in the 90's, and I'm sure there's been better since, but how high can we get, and still sound good?

Correct me if I am wrong, but I am under the impression that the loudest 'SQ' vehicle DB was in the low 140's. As far as power, sub(s), box characteristics, don't know the details.

That's what I heard, don't know if it's true or not.

Hey...if you listen hard up here, and you're really lucky, you can hear a moose fart.
