Question

How low do the termlab sensors read in compairison to the audiocontrol mics?

i'm just asking cuz i want to know if i'm doing any better now with my new box from my old box.

before you ask; me being a dumb a$$ didn't measure the before and after. only the after.

oh and even with the box kicker suggested i used i still get more SPL out of my daily box that tuned to 38Hz. WTF!
