how to have a car audio sound off.

now thats funny!

Why is that "funny"? There is a reason the thing is being "clearanced" for 15 bux! It's a turd. 135dB is kiddies territory; ANY system will likely peg that thing. The Term-Lab piece is FAR more like what you will be needing. Don't want to buy it? Rent it from someplace, but if you want to be REMOTELY taken serious, you'll forget the Wally World SPL meter right now.It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

I think he was amused at how I was trying to say that the capability of the wal-mart meter is child's play, without really saying that. Now I realize "kiddies territory" may have been a better choice than "child's play" Haem, do you have Photoshop, PaintShop Pro, or even Microsoft Paint? Have you seen the Administrator's new bike? It is in the Rides and System Galleries forum. It needs some customizing.

haemphyst is compyuter illiterit.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

hahaha I have both a term-lab and various other meters to play with. Walmart "boom stick" close to 20db inaccurate at most frequencies below 80hz   where you would want them to be accurate.   above 8- hz can be withen 1 to 2 db from a term lab haha The volt meter style that is all over ebay is about 4-7db inaccurate from the term lab, but is consistant across the frequency band, but has alot of varience.   from 1 burp to the next it can change multiple DB Older AudioContol meters    180SPL meter is very very close to the term lab about 2-3 db and very accurate 170SPL meter is about 4-7 off and can be fool by finding the meters sweet spot 160SPL meter is about the same as 170 but easier to fool Review formats and rules of diffrent sanctioning bodies USACI DBDrag MidwestSPL IASCA ect ect decided what you want to go off os, and find a meter.   If you were anywhere in the US I could find someone to assist you or possibly host a show for you.    But in canada its slim pickings You might want to PM velocitymotorsports or forbidden and see if they know any organized competition bodies in canada2009 0-1000 Trunk WR 154.0DB 2009 1001+ Trunk WR
