then i said lets put it on the tl .. so he burped it at 40 hz ... 164.3
the dude was like yea im the $hit ... lol but just wanted to share my story lol
Didn't have time to read the thread. But I was there in RI today. And the single sub did hit 164 db's on an AC mic, at the headrest. That is a MASSIVE difference from hitting 164 db's on a TL in the kick. I would say it would have been in the low 150's on a TL. 150-154 range, but it is hard to tell exactly what it would have metered legally on a TL.
A friend of mine had a RE MT 15" and a Soundstream XXX6500D and he was hitting 147+ on his TL. And every body was like you need to go to a comp because they use a different TL (no they don't) but to make a long story short he got married and is having a kid so the system is gone and now everything is stock.
I cant wait for a chance to get metered on a termlab to compare it against the ac mic we were metered on.....I find it hard to believe a difference of 9 db between the two.....especially since caanan tested our meter the splmeter.com right beside the termlab and it was .5 db higher on ours compared to the termlab when caanan reported the results...(in case you didnt understand he owns both meters)
if and when we get meteed on a termlab I will report the results....ps..ive noticed atmosperic conditions can change the score one day we hit 134.7 db with the american bass 10 in a small test box and the next day we hit 134.3 db I think ...and yes our meter is very consistent
Mike, i'm not the person who metered this particular system. I dont even know the poster of this thread.
I was only stating that A/C meters are rarely close to eachother. I've been to many comps, some shop's a/c's are as high as 9 db, some are closer to the t/l, like only 2 db high.

First you say you're there and then you say you werent....which was it Mike?You're way too full of sh1t Mike.
lol i hit 165 this weekend with an RE MT to, with ease, all i had to do is drill holes in my sealed box to port it and also i ductaped the wires so it doesnt let the watts escape..oh and i was using 1 kx2500
If you would have been here on Ecoustics these past couple of months Zac you would understand.I'm not a fan of the wishy washy stories where someone says something and then says something totally opposite.Or when they're confronted for a reason they back out and all the sudden completely change the story.I guess you could have said "lets put it on the tl" and then said cya right after you said that and left.There's just way too many BS'ers on Ecoustics.
Sorry for being a d1ck Mike,I guess it's just the kind of person I am.Everytime I catch someone slipping with their stories I always turn out to be the bad guy
i just made an assumption he had a tl ... first time in the shop ... well known ... you would guess it would be ... i was misinformed ...
my fault was not going into the bay when they metered it ... and just taking the shop owners word for it ... then posting numbers from the wrong mic .. thinking it was something esle
or not calibrated properly or something..
