Got metered today!!!!

[coolahan 10+ year member]

So today I woke up with an urge to go up to the audio shop. Drove up there and was going to buy some 12ga speaker wire. Well I got up there and I asked them if I had TL.. they didn't know what I was talking about at first until I said 'SPL mic' either way I asked them how much it costed to run and they said $10 so I decided to get metered. Now let me remind you that all my electrical is stock and I have a lot to do. Nor is anything dynamatted or anything. Also I am running like 16ga on my sub right now (I KNOWWWW) because I wanted it in there quick and I didn't have any good wire. (I was there to buy 12ga too remember !!) So with that being said.. on the TL I hit 142.5.... Thats with my daily box tuned at 32hz aswell.. oh and let me remind you that I have alot of work to do!!!

Give me your thoughts.. good or bad. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

If it was on a TL, then yes, that is an alright score for a daily driver!!

At what frequency? Windows up? Doors closed? On the dash? In the kick? Details man... details.

Can you descibe the SPL mic a little better?

Was it a small box?

Yep, as long as you're happy with it, who cares what the meter says? The meter is only important if you wanna compete in SPL. The rest of us just use it for $#!ts and giggles. It's fun to know what you score, but it doesn't matter.

If your electrical system is stock and you've done no sound deadening, you can definitely improve the score. Plus, to really maximize your system, you need some mic time to play around with different settings and different frequencies to see what works best for your setup.

32Hz and i'd imagine in the 6cuft area.

Not impressed by the score though. You have much more potential on tap.

I think it is okay...

I hit a 138 with two Pioneer SPL2000 12s, 35 hertz tuned box and 1.5k watts. I think it was a clipped signal caused a loss in SPL.

Anywhoo....I think it is good for thr first try.
