that still don't seem much more then 125.. is this is true then in my talon i musta had like 160-170 goin on in there i thought my talon would be in like the 120s my rear view would always slide all the way down ( i got a kick out that) and i blew out lighters and ppl would talk and i couldn't hear them for sh!t and my cell would viberate and i didn't know if it was my phone or the music... i loved my old systems

so then theres a big difference between 125 and 130 or what... b/c in my suburban my rear window barely shake and my rear view don't viberate as much.. and i can breathe like nothin

ya but just remebember theres more air to be moved in a sububan than a talon the subs are right her in a talon and i doubt ur hitting 160-170 lol thats really hard tohit especially on a daily driver so ya i can guarantee u werent hitting even closeto 160 prob not even 140

.D.,

that lil SPL meter it not accurate for sh1t. i have one...you can blow on it and it will say like 129dB.

also, its like it cant even register below 50hz. I can do 138dB at 28hz on the termlab and w/ this lil cheap meter, i cant event get it over 130. (it actually read my computer speakers at 126dB).

in closing...i wish i would have never gave walmart my $23. (i cant belive they are actually sellin on ebay for more than they do at walmart...lmao) Btw...notice that it says in the discription that it will read up to 130dB...but in the pic it show 135...lol.

try to find an audio shop w/ a real SPL meter and get tested there.

ya i noticed all that.... i'll prolly try to go sell it to some dumbs azz for like $30-35 .... i must be a bump azz to for buyin it.. but oh well i tried... and the reason i got that is b/c there is no audio places here with an spl meter.. closest one is prolly like 150-170 miles away... and i ain't to happy with the way my current system sounds so i ain't gunna make that try.. imma wait till my talon is runnin again and i get my new system in there

if you go to realmofexusion.com and look at the one that says slumpinhondal7's two 12" L7's in a 5.5 cu. ft. enclosure powered by a Quantum Q2000.1 amp. He's playing "Late Nite Tip" by Three 6 Mafia. under kicker ... why does the rear view do that... i use to do that with and audiobahn set up.. it was a ABR122T powered by a A1300HCT
