DC Sound Lab

Finally got Metered!!


Recommended Posts

I went to one of the local shops which had previously told me that they have a Term-lab and that they charge $15 to get metered. Today they told me they use an Audiocontrol meter and charge $35. The guy said he never heard of a term lab, then he asked what it was for, and what i wanted to do with it. He even asked me what i was trying to get metered... :nea: I left.

Went to another local shop and they also have just the Audiocontrol meter and They charged me $20 to get metered. The lady working there asked me "what, you think your loud?" They were 20 minutes late for my "appointment". but I METERED 150db on the Audiocontrol with Hi SPL mic on the dash, sealed up playing Decafs Get around song by F.L.Y. When i turned it down my friend told me that part of their light fixture had fallen and hit my car. It chipped the paint on the rear fender. It set the car alarm off of the lady that worked there. I had to call my insurance company. The shop is telling my that there is no way its their fault. :angry: I am going to find a shop with a term lab to check it.

I did three runs.

150db on Decafs Get Aroung by fly

147db on Decafs Put On

and another run at 150 on Get around.

Thanks to Rusty and Decaf

This one kid told me the amp that he got was from a guy with 2 t2s did a 168.... It was a 2000watt monoblock btw and he had no idea what kind it was. The kid had one t2. I couldn't stop laughing. O and it was the shop owner that told this kid that. The kids a douche too
