i think it gets very innacurate above 130dB, that's why we need correction numbers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

so it will still read above 135, just not accurately?

how do you like eu-700 i had a set and never played with them ended up selling them. whats the specs on that enclosure?

 

[xluben 10+ year member]

yeah, i just went and picked one up, and i can verify that they're totally inconsistent and should be regarded as trash //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

a while back i had two (cheap) pioneer 12's (these) in 1.25 cu ft (each) sealed with only about 125W going to each of them, and i got a scosche meter and it said 128.X with music.

now i have two assassin 12's in a ported box with 400W+ to each of them (same car) and i bought another scosche meter (i returned the first one), and this one maxed out at 123.6 This is the best I could do with -3dB test tones (peaked at 40Hz), but I got the exact same score with track 1 on young jeezy's cd (it peaks around 40Hz, but is recorded much lower than -3dB) and by blowing into the mic (//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif).

i think even if we did get correction numbers they'd only be valid for that particular unit, due to the inconsistency of the product.

this is also confirmed in another post:

as for the BOOM STICK, i've used 2 differnt ones and they both were totally differnt on #'s. 1st stick would stay constant around 153 and the 2nd Boom stick would only stay constant around 143.....

One of the better meters you can get without having to purchase a laptop for a termlab is the goldline. It hovers in the $450 range and is still overall cheaper than a termlab (if you consider laptop and TL price together of course)

I tested it against the TL and found it read 1 db higher

I love the EU-700's! The box is a built to ED's design. It is 1f3^ and ported to 30hz.

To all that are saying BS.. The point of this thread is the mic. I believe that the moc is not as accurate as the tl but I did not spoof on what it was reading. (I do not believe I am hitting almost 130db but I have no access to a TL where I am in Germany. After I pulled that reading I did stick the mic in the port with the same song and pulled a 132. but of course that is not a reading like I was trying to get.

it is in this car

With this box

With this amp built in

and measured in the exact spot you see in the picture (in front of my radio about 10" from the dash)

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif that wal-mart thing is a piece of garbage. I doesnt measure the same way a TL Takes it readings. A TL is a pressure sensor....this Scoche thing measures noise. If you dont believe me....do this yell at a TL and see what it does...notta. Yell at the boomstick and it will give you a reading. Hell The other day I was in walmart and I did a 110 by just thumping the fawking thing. Comparing a Term-lab to a 20 dollar POS is an insult.

the TL is A pressure sensor?
