The show at speedworld is having a SPL competition. I dont know if they are gonna have classes or just free for all. But I think it'll be cool just to see what we all hit at.

Do you have an RTA or just one of those 30 dollar Radio Shack meters?

We have two RTA's at my work but we only have the SQ mic and no SPL mic, so the sensitivity is only down to 120 DB I believe. If ANYONE has an SPL mic for the RTA im sure I could get my company to maybe purchase it off you.

I've used the RTA before im my car to help set my components and help find the frequency of my vehicle but am unable to use it to find out what DB i hit with different songs. I wasn't able to get next weekends event sanctioned by USACI but the MIDNIGHT RUN event on June 30th I am still working on being santioned by USACI so it would have official classes and rules.

I am curious how the event next weekend is going to have their SPL setup
