Nah they wont hurt you, you'll start to know if they do. They should be hitting anywhere in the region of 130-140dB which is pretty loud but many people run that kind of setup in a daily drive...

You dont make sense, are you on drugs? You go out and buy some subs and an amp and then you dont want them because you think they will be too loud for you? Im guessing you are a virgin bass-head who's never experienced sub 80hz sounds before

I ran 127.6db in my Escort, can still hear fine. It was louder when I changed the sub to a Vibe but I never had it pressure tested with that sub in.

true, havent really taken a shine to my ICE, just concentrated on exterior! but hey, i can learn abt my ICE

i think i will stick with the subs then, and wont turn them up really loud, but as said, i have the sound capacity there if i need it

And when you are only using a 500/1, 500RMS, your not really pushing it are ye?

Im running 750wRMS at the moment soon to go up to 1200wRMS

From time to time i put my system up pretty high when im driving... Certain frequencies DO make your eyes shake.. It makes it very hard to drive, but tis very fun

I have had 143.3 outta my setup, and im now onto my second 15" JLW3, they aint cheap if you want to start blowing em up

a bloke in the states got 162.2dB running pretty much the same set up as me, i got 146dB. Dont get yer hopes up.

And yes, at some high volumes/frequencies, your eyes to shake, and i have, in the recent past, discovered some garage music which makes it hard to swallow whilst its up loud. Also can make u feel a little short of breath.
