RobertISaar Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 got a scosche db meter for christmas and thought i would try it out. 94.7 db with the car off, factory 5 1/4" speakers,2 11 year old kenwood kfc-6964 in the back with one woofer dead(tweeter still works though), no amp, a 11 year old panasonic head unit turned up as high as it would go without distortion, and while playing Metallica: to live is to die. isn't this a little up there for having no amp and using facory speakers? by the way i measured it a couple of times for accuracy and i had it sitting on top of my armrest.

slick Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 Guarantee ya that the scosche meter you have is very inaccurate. Spend $20, $30, or whatever the local, reputible audio shop charges and have it metered on a respectable meter. Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 The shop around here charges $30. ( of the shops that I know can/will do it ) If you really wanna find out what it is, find someone with a Termlab. Quote
RobertISaar Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Posted January 11, 2007 i didn't expect it to be very accurate, but i give it a decent rating. this morning i pushed 99.1 dB with Metallica: one and got the same 94.7 with to live is to die, so if its not accurate it at least gives reliable results.

Puggsley456 Posted January 12, 2007 Report Posted January 12, 2007 I dont know why......but this thread reminds me of the time my friend farted into a termalb mic and pulled a 92db....LOL. I have never heard of anyone measuring a mostly-factory system before. I guess it at least sets a baseline for future upgrades. Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted January 12, 2007 Report Posted January 12, 2007 I pulled like a 120.x with 4 Infinity speakers and a pyramid amp! LOL I dont know why......but this thread reminds me of the time my friend farted into a termalb mic and pulled a 92db....LOL. :lol: Quote

AxlCrucifix Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 ive got a handheld meter, i calibrated it using a 20 thousand dollar meter my dad has for work, and it is within 0.1 db of the expensive meter that i KNOW works and is super accurate. I hit 129.x db running very little power through my subs like 70 watts or less. Quote
