Default Re: decibel levels ???

it was just a free app, called decibel meter. And I am aware of damage to hearing caused by very loud noise. At work we have to have to wear earplugs, due to around 90 db. That was just a test to see what the phone would read. As far as the droid, it is my first smart phone. I just wanted a real keyboard, as well as the touch screen. I don't use it very much, but have to charge it daily. Oh yeah vibrations, Hats, hair, clothes, eyes. I wasn't looking for an spl setup. Just trying to buy it right the first time. All of my previous setups were with used equipment. I would say that the amp is more than the speaker really needs. chris

I hit 154.2 in a truck I had with 4 15's, that being said, I think my XF is in the low 140s (have never tested). With 2 12's in a custom ported box, it is LOUD. The 120 seems low for the equipment you are running. How loud did you have it turned and did it seem excessive? (ie: vibrating your hair, making a cup of water shake so hard it overflows, etc. )

I figure a car DB meter on a phone is not going to be that accurate, especially considering extremely precise meters used in competitions generally cost 10's of thousands of dollars, but it sounds like a cool app, I will have to see if it is available for the Palm Pre, what is the name of the app?
