Got metered today.....

Went to get metered this morning....143.8 db @56 hz, on the dash, Audiocontrol mic. Not quite as good as I had hoped for, but not too bad I supppose. Plus, I did have a nasty voltage drop (down to 11v) that I have to work on.

lol, I need more power....and a hatchback.

I thought you would have hit over 145...higher 140's. Gotta start somewhere though - nice score //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Oh yes, the next thing that I do to the system will be to get the voltage up where it should be. I've already upgaded all the under hood wiring to 1/0 ga, as well as regrounded everything with the same, with a red-top for the batt, 1/0 to the back as well. I'm trying to avoid getting an HO alt, as I'm going to get something else to drive next year. I might try a batcap first since the shop has them, but if that doesn't work I guess I'll get a 200a relay and a yellow top for the trunk. We'll see.
