September 20, 2006 was a victorious day for Pioneer and sound pressure level (SPL) competitors Scott Owens and Kyle Witherspoon of the Edge Audio team. Using Pioneer Premier® SPL subwoofers, amplifiers and headunits, Owens and Witherspoon added a second world champion title to their belt with their win at the 2006 IASCA IDBL World Finals in Hampton, Georgia.

At this event, Owens' 2002 F-250 hit 180.3 dB to capture the first place trophy and set a new world record in the 2006 idBL Ultimate 3 division.

In May at the Steel Valley Regional show held in Chester West Virginia, Owens hit the world record and took home the dB Drag trophy with a sound pressure level of 179.4 dB. At the same show, he also won the IASCA IDBL and MECA competitions with sound pressure levels of 179.5 dB and 180.3 dB respectively.
