All db drag comps are done on the windshield, that is the way they keep every car equal.
USACi You can place the meter anywhere in front of the B pillar, best results are normally on the floor board passenger side with the drivers side window or door open. That helps build pressure on the passnger side where the meter is
On the windsheild is a harder place to et higher #'s but a little more consistant from car to car
In front of the port or vent would be a port wars score...Yes it will produce a very high # but no where near a resiemblance of what the car really does.
If you really wan to know what your car does in a daily application, go to a USACi show and run in street Beat. 30 second average of all sub frequencys using music only, no tones.......average scores this weekend were 125-130db in these classes.

I would go passenger side floor board, with the drivers side window open, it help the pressure direct diffrently. I have seen anywhere from 2-5 db in tone/outlaw runs and 2-3db in street beat runs
where are you from? I might be judging a show in your area sometime and would be ahppy to help you out

there are some shows in your state, unsure if I will be judging any of them, or how far they are for you.
I typically stay in MO,KS,KY,IL,NE,IA the midwest. But that dosent mean I wont get put on one of those shows I will let you know if I do
This weekend I think I will be in Memphis,TN
