Tim Lam Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 so i have never measured my system before, but i would to ACTUALLY know how loud it is. i looked the termlab set and it was $650.... that kind of money i don't have. i have an app on my phone that measured dB's but idk how accurate that thing is. is there any alternatives to measuring my numbers? (like a sound meter off of Amazon?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alaskanzx5 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 look for a used termlab in the forsale section...

Freshman6969 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 termlab is the only thing ill ever use, anything else varys, the Audio control can be 1-10db off, any app is not gunna be even close, the only other thing that is even up there with the TL is a spl lab meter (i think?) which can be had for cheaper, seeing as its hand held, i know a teammate of mine has one Quote Legal TL scores145.6 on the dash sealed up in the low 40hz area with the port out145.5 on the dash sealed up @30hz with the port inless then 1k clamped on a 3.5k! Why would you EVER WANT flex?huh?...flex is what can make the lows lower and more air being pushed correct?

Jman08 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 spl lab meter is the closest thing you will find next to a termlab Quote Youtube.com/J Hutch22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socky Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 like jman said, a spl lab meter is the closest thing, we saw at a show a system do a 148.8 on the spl lab meter, and do a 148.8 on the termlab.

alaskanzx5 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 as soon as i can get a chance to get on a termlab i cant post a comparison score between the ac-190, ac-170 and termlab. ive been metered on both the ac-190 and ac-170 already. gotta get retested on the ac-190 though think i was having some weird voltage issues that day ( tensioner pulley going bad ) Quote t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

412 CVX Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Stop telling him lies! I have a free app on my android that told me my pair of 8's were doing a 160.xx at the headrest! that's obviously true and almost as accurate as my Ear-o-meter! Quote Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs. My temp system build log More box buildssome cars do over 170db with one sub, so clearly my two 12"s can do that in my car, with my knowledge too! look out bitches! I'm with captain stupid.

fecupe2001 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 the subject isn´t about what meter is the most accurated lol, OP that app is bullshit, there´s no way you´ll know exactly how loud your system is until you meter it on a real sensor P.S: Audiocontrol SENSOR is also only 0.1 dbs off the termlab Quote I´m the SPL Gains topic creator!! wanna get louder?? check this: SPL Gains.
