  1. I find this impossible to determine with a calculation...

    LOL. What, the thread or my though process? :D

    BTW, I think I'm even closer. Assuming the TL mic is approx. .3" in diameter, then the formular works! I'm kinda happy, but don't want to celebrate too early.

    what exact information do you need?

    The actauly opening on the black box sensor is around 1/8" the opening of the actaul preasure sensor (the mic inside the black box) is around maybe 1/32"

    not trying to bash you man but its extermely hard to derive any formual that is a bit accurate when it comes to spl..spl is in no way linear as well...either way i admire you interest and drive toawrds what your doing, good job and good luck

    Thanks man.

    And that info completely blows the formula out of the water. LOL. Oh well. But then agian, maybe not.

    Oh, and yeah, SPL is logarithmic. That's part of my formula.

  2. I honestly dont see this formula being accurate. Maybe im not understanding what you are trying to do, but I think you are trying to use a mathematical equation to figure out how loud a vehicle will be?

    Pretty much. I know it's not going to be very accurate, that's why I gave an acceptable error rate of + or - 5 decibels. Hopefully that'll account for the differences among vehicles.

    I know it's probably a lost cause, but I can't get it out of my mind till I try. I'm like that sometimes.

    I think he is trying to find an equation tieing together the meter, decibels, and wattage.

    yep. as close as I can. And it includes the cone area of the subs, too.

  3. I'm working on a project to determine the decibel level of a setup to + or - 5 decibels. I'm using Meade's hoe as an example, and am getting close to my answer.

    I just assumed it was .5" in diameter, and working backwards through my current formula, I ended up with the math saying Meade was putting just under 40,000 watts to all 4 of his subs. A lot, I know, but 2 hours ago, the math had him putting 500 kW (yes, 500,000 watts to his subs!) !!!

    So, I'm def. getting close to having a formula on my hands.

    I've been thinking about it for 3 days, I found a thread back in the near end of the off topic section that got me interested.

    I was going to bump it when I got the math right.

  4. 06121804.jpg. I don't remeber the size. It's nice though.

    That's a bit big for my tastes. I want one in my truck. I already have a 15" and held it up in diff. locations in my truck and it actually looks kinda small. LOL. I was wondering cause I wanted to retrofit a tahoe dash in my truck because the screen has a dang good place to sit.

    Sorry to get off topic Steve.

  5. probably not that much bigger unless you are trying to get super crazy on the fiberglass. Dont forget this thing has a frame around it so it looks smaller when molded in but the frame is still there.

    I would say a 12 would probably be about the limit before the degree of difficulty starts to go up a little higher. I would have done a 12 but i couldnt find a 12" touchscreen with front buttons. I think i found one with side buttons (its been a while i think it was a 12).

    Ok. Thanks.

  6. Ok, so I took a vid on my blackberry and I just found out that my video editing software doesn't support the file format my blackberry uses. It was saved (and transferred) to my computer in a .3GP format (WTH is that?) and I need some free software to convert it. I'm running Windows 7 Home 64 bit and Cyberlink Powerdirector Express (got it in '06, LOL.). Does anyone know any free video conversion software?

    Has anyone ever used this video converter:

    If so, is it good?
