[QUOTE="rrmccabe, post: 3618559, member: 582712"] I have a trailblazer with a JL-audio 500/5 amp. I have 4 JL speakers in the doors (front and rear). I added a JL-audio stealthbox which is a shallow sidemount enclosure with 10"sub. Is there a a proper way to test DBs? I have a cheap sound level meter and I just pulled up a dynamic song and cranked it up with meter laying on center console. The results were 118 db for that song. Is this the proper way to get a reading and should that be considered typical for 500 watts of power and a small sub?? I thought I remember seeing someone else with a trailblazer doing 140's. I consider the system pretty nice but realize its not gonna run with the big dogs with big enclosures. Thanks [/QUOTE]
