i dont think it was a TL. from how he describes the mic position it appears to have been one of the older mic systems.

guys this is just a spl mic on a home made wooden stand and the meter is a actual meter from around 2001,he had it on his lap when he was sitting next to me. (I remember as this was the same meter that he had when I had my trans am), its not a laptop, I did this in New Brunswick when I was on Vacation, the guy has been doing this for years, he knows what he is doing when he uses HIS machine, and follows all the IASCA rules when he hosts a comp or a DB drag.... (except the time he did mine as we went over the 30sec mark lots of times)... I dont even know what a TL is and I doubt he knows also, as there is no need for one where I am from.

Im gonna go get it tested with Sikk Nation when he had the time and can make a damn show or something on a Saturday or Friday night and I'm sure it would be done right..

TL = Term Lab

If I had to guess your around 140db's on music using a TL

I used to run a DD3512 dual 4 wired to 2 ohm for comp's that turned into a daily driver. I peaked at 145 or so, off an Earthquake D2 on a TL. Completely different box design than what you have for a higher dB reading, but my daily drive box looks close to what you have already. I say good job.

When I went to the Lindsay show I only hit 144.4 @ 44hz with 3 12's and about 1500 rms. :stroke: The box at that time was sealed. So if you ask me .... 145 is great for one sub and 1500 rms. :smilie_da
