m gonna keep tryin till i get 145

Unless you go with a ported box that is probably not going to happen with a legal windshield or headrest measurement.

im shootin for 145 too. its hard w/ 1 sub, but i bet 3 W6s should be no problem

i wouldnt even consider those meters... they measure sound, not pressure. and it dont take much to peak them out.

nah, i did it with a single 12" cvr in a van off 500 watts. so shouldnt be hard at all.

Yeh you should easily get 145....i had 2 12w6v2s off a older Punch 800.2 in a HO JL Prefab box and did a 148 on the AC mic ...so that should equate to about a 143-145 on the TL and that was in the trunk of my 4dr Civic....your teg will do even better with a decent box...good luck

I'm not sure that conversion is correct from AC to TL. A friend of mine did a 156 on an AC mic a few years ago... I just sat in a truck doing 156 on a TL mic and I will tell you that the AC score is not even remotely close. The AC 156 is more like a TL 148 - 150 or so from my observations.

i was 147 on an AC and at the time was 141 on TL.

That is almost exactly what my feeling was... about 6 dB down.

AC meters are not accurate or precise really.

You can burp a 148.3 on an AC meter and then 5 minutes later not changing anything on the same AC mic you could burp a 150. So there really is not telling how far off the AC is from the termlab. Best bet is to just go get metered and find out for your self //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif.
