Post your SPL scores

If your reading was not on the new Termlab mic say so. I will start.

My standard cab F150 did 148db on the old termlab with one Kicker 10L7 off a JL Audio 500/1.

I have done 143db on the new Termlab with the same setup.

I will be trying again next year but I will be running 1400 rms to my 10L7.

nice score for 1 10

with my blazer and not as much power i did 154.x on a AC mic, it was decent, that was the only time i had it metered really, i havnt ever bothered finding peak frequency oor building a spl box

im about to buikld a different box now in my EX and try to see what i can hit, my goal is above a 150 on the TL, i know someone who pulled a 154.x on the TL with 2 MT's and a IA 40.1(4k+rms) i just want a 150. something and ill be happy

i had an SPL reading done once... years ago.. before i knew anything at all about this stuff...

it was in my Neon, and i had 2 JL 12WO's in a sealed box. i dont even know what the hell i tweeked my amp to... i just had it metered for the hell of it and got a 138.8

now that i actually know how to build boxes and tune them, etc... i've often wondered what my current subs would be able to do.

Good luck, 150 is fairly hard with the new TL mics. But with enough power you could do it.

I also did 140db in my thunderbird at 28hz, with two 12" Blackmore's and an American Bass XD1000.

I used to have 4 12" isoberic bandpass with all ADS amps and MB quarts for mids and highs never had it measured, but the guy I got it off of used to compete and win contests with it. I later had two 15" Impact competition speakers Isoberic bandpass together hooked to a Hifonics Aphorite amp with Polks for mids and highs. Right now I have 2 12" IMPP in a sealed box with a Pioneer 750w amp and a 450w amp going to Pioneer premier mids and highs.

if i'm not mistaken.... TC Sounds makes (or used to make) the subs that Eclipse uses as their own line.

They were the same subs, they could have just been from the same buildhouse.
