150 dB meter for $150

140 dB meter for $40

Im going to purchase the 140 dB meter Monday night.

There is a review in the Car Sound Mag on the 150 dB unit. Seems promising :)

I had their old unit, it was good to 180. worked awesome. I loved. I sold it to the shop I worked at when I left to work for a manufacturer. I wish I still had it. I would buy one but it only goes to 150. I'm louder than that.

That thing looks terrible. Maybe it would work, but don't be surprised when you show up to a competition and you SPL is different then what it was with that thing.

You shouldn't be suprised. It's not the TL, but it can help you tweak with your system. If you get your system metered on on the new TL, then that thing..you can basically see how off it is and what you should add/subtract to get a good idea. Looks like a good buy. I might pick the 150 up myself.

Man, I really want the 150 dB one, but my goal is to surpass 150 :)

Can't beat 140 dB for $40. Manville Smith reviewing it makes me confident it's a good product. He knows his stuff.

So let me get this straight. The meters don't require any type of software/computer connection to give readings?

It has a digital readout right on the front of it.

lol yea, after i posted that I read about it. It looks like a damn good buy. I'm not sure about the 140db meter though. Might be way too easy to break a 140 on it..The 150 looks like a winner though. I'll probably end up buyin one.

Ive sat in 140 cars. If you break 140 your doing good already...

I cant justify another $110 for 10 dB more :)
