[spike_e 10+ year member]

welll i took mt subs over to my friend who works at circuit city and he used one of those cheap hand held meters to meter my subs. i hit a 129.1 which is the loudest they have ever tested there. but the number is far from what i exected. my setup is in my sig. i expected to at least hit 140. exactly how accurate are those lil cheap ones?

You are probably capable of somewhere around a 140 at your peak frequency on a real meter.
