what do you want it for? for measuring SPL in a car, it is worthless. Any good meter will cost some bux. Go to a TBP show or find someone locally with a TL and have a testing session.

Best thing ,and cheapest, is to find a local Car audio shop with a TL.Even if you have to drive a little bit you won't have to fork out the 500-1000(if its new) that they cost just to see how loud you are.

Yeah, either find a TL or get an in dash unit, like an Audiocontrol Epic-150 or Epic-160. I have 150, it's pretty sweet. As much as I like the dB meter, I actually like the parabass eq it also has. Not as accurate as the TL I don't think, but it'll give you an idea.

And what's your set-up consist of since you think you're doing around 145?

hey im in the DFW (where djmans info says hes from)

I know there is a place in Irving that has an old TL

.....hmmm Im just gonna have to call around

^^^^There you go!Hit that shit up and you can get some real numbers off the TL.Not just some kinda somewhere around this kind of number.

2 pryamid 12" in a bandpass

nah

I have 2 audiomobile mass 12s with about 800ish going to each

Like I said ,its the loudest to ear ive heard in my car. I know the meter doesnt always agree with the ear

^^^that's true but it will give you a base line to start at and work up from there.

that had BETTER be for an hour. (on the high end of that)

Get ahold of dfwbass on here...Curtis, he runs TBP see if there's something that can be worked out at the next show...like show up early or right at the start for some 'tuning'.

Too much money to see some numbers, in my opinion.
