SPL meter
 

hey ppl got a question for someone that knows.

i had the chance to check out my spl output yesterday and i used a SPL1000. i would like to know how accurate it is ( underated or overared??) sub off blasted with no distortion i get 110.2db. and with subs only i get 123.8db.

soo what i need to know is that is if there is an error on the meter. by how much db's approx difference is there compared to TL.

i seem disapointed tat i only 123.8db on that meter lol cause i seems alot louder than the other cars i checked this weekend also ( 200watt rms 12" single sony 122.3, 600watt rms 2x GBL 12" 122.8 ) plus they sound like lmao

where did you do this test?

in kapuskasing

i forgot its made by scorche

Completly inaccurate, its a 50 dollar meter. Come to north bay in a couple of weeks and get properly metered. From what i see you have for equipment you should have no problem doing over 140 db

ya well i have to redo my box lol my previous one was louder than my curent one. and from what i can see financially i prob wont be able to go. but when i go to sudbury there a shop on ... umm forgot the name of the street lol its the one that has biancos on it. anyway they have the 2008 TL and my bud works there soooo if i cant make it ill go there

lol it did seemed low cause its hard to beleive that one sony 12" was doing a 122 with only 200watts rms and me 1.8db more with 2 12" and 1000watts rms

thanks eh ill do my best to show up lol

No one in the sudbury area has a TL, let alone any measurement devices. I know this due to asking local business if they would like to have shows done for them or if they can offer a show themselves. Biancos used to have an AC when one of their long time installers used to work there. I would still come out to north bay with the box you have, you never know how you might do.

its the shop in close by toyota dealership that sells clarion. and my buddy says that theyre TL is upgraded every 2 years. now i dont know why they would why they wouldnt do a show when it can bring potential customers lol ( maybe they dont want more than they have) but anyway ill try to make it at the show

You are talking about Northern Autosound and they do not have a Term Lab or anyother meter. Guarenteed. Get some cars together and drive to North Bay on the 10th of August. That will be the true test.

ya thats the one i was talking about. and as of getting a bunch of guys and go there is kinda slim lol. they live 2 hours away from me and they are a bunch of crum bums with no cash or car to drive hahhaha

but as i said.. ill try and go if i can get some spare cash for gas. ( actually ill check if my new partner from work would like to come lol ) just for the fun of it i applyed to be an installer for FS and well i got the job .. should fill in the crave for installs eh lol

aaannyyywayyssss lol ill do my best to go if i do i hope to see you guys there. should be interesting for my first view at a comp.
