[Speedy2222]

woot , also found out my 12" sub is made by atomic...

[sLonoma22]

not too bad for a single 12", sealed or ported box? what power?

[Speedy2222]

vented.. 1000 watts

[triple r]

nice

[Mr Blue]

Not bad, which meter was used and where was the placement of the mic?

[Noremac]

i hit 130.2 with a kicker comp 12"... mic was in the floorboard if that means anything, the truck was sealed all except the window was cracked open about a 1/4"... that was with no tuning done on the amp, and only 150 rms..

Floor makes a difference (most comps meter on the dash from a specified location via a template). What type of meter and when was it last checked for accuracy?




And like Mr. Blue said, Speedy, what mic, where was it located, and when was it last checked for accuracy?

Unless the operator messed with the calibration (unlikely) it is spot on. The TL is the industry standard nowadays.

o and i found otu the sub is an atomic APX

Even they need recalibrated about 2x a year just like any quality piece of electrical equipment used as a standard of measure.

does having the window cracked make a big difference?

I thought that was the point of the instacal program that runs every time before start-up.

Term-LAB does not require calibration. If you run the Calibration utility in the Instacal program, you will corrupt the factory calibration values. There is no way to correct this problem except to send the card back to the factory for re-calibration. (This is not covered by warranty.)

[juddspaintballs]

if they never needed recalibrated, then Fluke voltmeter and oscilloscopes would never need calibrated either based on similar technology. The link to the post you posted states to not run the calibration utility while the TL is in the Instacal program. It still has the calibration utility for a reason.
