How loud can a party bus sound system get?

Premium party bus sound systems can reach 120 decibels or more — equivalent to standing near the speakers at a live rock concert. Most feature dual 12" or 15" subwoofers, multiple amplifier channels, and Bluetooth connectivity. Operators set volume limits to protect both riders' hearing and the neighborhood.
