The last comp I was at... there was a full size dodge ext. cab, with 4 juggs, 15"... That thing was really freaking loud to the ear (and to the body!) yet he just couldn't pull off any decent numbers on the termlab?
Maybe that kind of difference, loud to the ear, loud to the mic..... I dont think my setup is too loud to the ear? Well bad example, since its not too loud on the mic either!
