Was about to buy radio shack meter but ..

But it says, " Reads 50 to 126dB SPL, and has “A” or “C” weightings"

I see all the local people putting up like 142 and 144s and such. They have real setups though and such. I only have a 10 awt10x audiobahn. Do you think I go over 126? (I have 2000 W to it)

Thanks.

The RS meter is useful for determining resonant frequencies in cabin...

You'll get over 126 with that setup.

The meter readings you're seeing are from real SPL testing mics, like Audiocontrols, Termlabs, etc...they're in the several hundred dollar range.

Ok thanks very much. 50 more $ saved for 12 " XXX! yay!

(I know this is pushing it but ... any idea what I might hit? Im going friday to a db drag just to see my numbers I put up. (I cant be to serious about it becuase I'm a 10 in a class that have 2 12s in it. *shrug*

I am really thinking about getting a RE xxx 12 that will fit perfectly in the box I already have. Could you give me a rough estimate how much more DB I would get over this audiobahn 10? (im sure the wow factor would be much better ... ) Thanks. )

I bet there are a lot of people out there who's systems can't hit over 126. It'd be useful to them if they know what it was..

do you honestly think that people with 126db syssems know what the hell spl is?

Is 126 db like as loud as a slightly overweight womans fart or something?

Whats a decent Loud system? Something that makes your ears tingle? (DB wise)
