If it's the 160, there's a substantial difference between that and the newest TL meters.

Me and a friend got out setups metered just to see who's was louder.... and I won by far.

Him:

4 10'' Rockford P1

4 cube box tuned to 32hz

BX605D

Monte Carlo

SPL: 135.4db //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

Me:

4 8'' RE8

2 cube box tuned to 32hz

Orion 1200d

Jeep GC

SPL: 150.5db //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

Now obviously I'm not going to hit 150db with an SQ tuned box on a TL. I DID confuse the employees when I told them my subs were "RE" 8''s and cost $57 each //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

150.5 with 4 8's that's very impresive men and your box is not that big and its tuned low... great numbers congrats.

If it was a 160 a/c then his number would be in low 140's or high 130's. If you did that off a 190 a/c then that is pretty imprssive for audiobahn. Also I didnt think that amp was that powerful. 1000 to each speaker? I dont get into audiobahn specs much though cause I am not a big fan of them nor will never use them again. But good job on the #'s.

What mics where those on? 150.4 on a 1200 d. I just have hard time believing that. It must have been on that 160. Beacuse that is way off of the tl.

i dont believe anything the 190 says seeing ive spiked one 4db before....

 

[Mr. Opportunist 10+ year member]

4 8's doing 150???? That's gotta be some kind of record....I think I have a hard time believing that as well....

it was on the ac 160:crap:

 

[bigbangtheory 5,000+ posts]

You have spiked 4dbs on it? Was something wrong with the mic maybe?

 

[JeffyZ33 10+ year member]

AS I POSTED EARLIER :

It is on the old AC160. AND like I posted in the post containing the SPL numbers, there's no way i'd get near that on a new TL. The meter was basically just for comparision between us 2 friends, not to get an actual number.

no its just not accurate

**** good numbers for a couple audiobahns. used to have some of the crappy flame qs but fried the coils on both when i wired them unstable. just for shits and giggles. then bought some perfect 12s. although im not a fan of audiobahn i have seen a similar pair in the cab of an old F150. solid metal cabs are so great acoustically. he was using some older phoenix gold amps and really shakin shit off the walls of the shop. i was very impressed. not sure what he was hitting but just based on hearing it id say like 145 give or take a few. but im rambling so anyway, nice numbers
