Here is a good link about nhl noise-induced hearing loss
http://www.dangerousdecibels.org/hearingloss.cfm

It says anything over 85db (busy city traffic) can start to affect your hearing. I would guess your system being at about 125db (can't say if its any more than that without the box dimensions and you actually having your stereo system metered)


Most generally I would say 125db won't affect your hearing much if you only listen to it for a couple blocks. But i'm not a doctor!

Well if after listening to it and you notice a ringing in your ears afterwards in a quiet area there has been some hearing damage. But that much power has the potential to do a lot of damage.
