Audio Control Meter, how accurate are they compared to the TL?


Recommended Posts

Like the description says, i was wanting to know how the audio control meter compares to the term lab meter as far as readings. The shop that has this meter didnt give me a model number or anything so im not sure which one it is. They want 150 bucks to meter the truck is this a good price for this? any quick replies would be great as i am off today and have absolutely nothing to do today... Thanks in advance.

$150 to meter your ride with an AC meter??Do you get to keep the meter after?? Please never go there or get anything from there..

the most i've heard of shops charging is $20...and that's with a TL...

Holy ballsacks, $150 is freaking outrageous!

But to answer your other question, the audiocontrol CAN be comparable to the TL as long as it's the ac190 model and is calibrated and set up properly.

Please do not give those assclowns $150.

High End car audio in center city. I have heard good things about the shop but 150 dollars to meter a truck? Im thinking that is a bit excessive. Not bashing them or anything, but that is crazy
