SPL report: JL equipment in a C5 vette

[Radioflyer97 10+ year member]

Equipment:

JL500/1 amp

JL 12w6v2 Sub:

Custom built sub box by "dave" at Corvette Car Audio

Used the SPL meter on my dash mounted Epic 150 processor as the meter.

End result: 50-60Hz = 138dB.

Very impressive for a system originally designed for SQ.

Has anyone ever compared the meter in an Epic 150 against the TL sensor to see how accurate it really is?

Definitely a nice looking install, though. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Ive heard the epic reads around 3db higher

If that's true and the reading on the TL would have been around 135 that's still respectable for a sealed 12 on 500w, I'd say. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Nice!Epic reads 6db higher

that actually makes me feel a litle better, otherwise I'm crusing around in the 115- 120dB range //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

did the installation myself. Cost about $400 in sound deadening and acoustic foam, $10 for an acre of MDF //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif about $100 for the amp box.

the total setup as it is today has run me just under $4K (i spent a good year shopping for the best prices on equipment)
