dB depends on many things: vehicle, enclosure, and subs for that matter
its hard to determine dB just by how much power you have

Actually - there IS a calculation to find this out. If you know the watts you are putting out, then you can figure out an approximation for the dB's. Again - this is ONLY an approximation and its prone to alot of controversy. But here you go:

And if you need to figure out HOW to calculate your true power output:
