Regardless, as a rider at some point the dB level becomes less relevant and overall presence at the various sound-stages becomes the focus. 123 from the fairing is probably more than suitable to rip ur ears off after several minutes of riding.

For those interested, I posted a vid in the sticky section up top. That is the bike that registered 123 on my buddies meter. Again, not a calibrated sound test. but 123DB and clean and good lows.

I just installed the SV's in my fairing and I couldn't be happier they are loud and very clear great speaker for clarity and way louder than I want to run the volume just riding down the road.
