rickyfromthe407 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Although Term-Lab is most common, Most Accurate etc.. Assuming your not hitting the 140s or more. You can do a eBay search for a Decibel Meter... They obviously wont be 100% accurate, but they will be less than 50$ and will give you general idea... Here: http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=decibel+meter&_sacat=See-All-Categories first one is 25$ shipped - itll go up to 130db. Do you think your hitting the 130s? Thats the cheap way..Unless you got stacks for the TL!

canderton01 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Those cheap ebay meters are pretty inaccurate, but it's pretty much the only option unless you want to drop a good amount of coin.

Quality SPL meters usually aren't cheap.. Right. I would say they would at best be +-5db at best to accurate. But if your just trying to get a general idea itll suffice. What I would do. Is tape it down to your dash or kick panel or where your trying to measure. So it DOESNT move. Then test reading with all different options ( ie: boxes, seats down, subs up, subs forward, port forward, visors moved, etc. ) the slightest difference in that meter could change a lot. So keeping it in the same spot will atleast give you a decent reading. But canderton is right - cheap, accurate spl meters wont be found easily.

If your hitting 130 then it would max it out... Idk. I never bought one myself, considered it, but I know im hitting more than 130s so its useless to me..
