to epic 160

[jonbearsmt 919]

i want to meter my car but everyone i hear about with a meter shits out on me when its time to meet up....

so i wanna buy an epic 160 to meter only... nothing else...

has anyone used these? how accurate are they to a term lab?

can i use this meter to learn my sweet spot ?

i would imagine that it may vary in different vehicles due to mounting location but iirc, my friend used to be about 2db higher on that than on the latest TL. it is a good way to see if any tweeks you go are gaining SPL, kinda like a G-tech is a good way to see if mods are actually adding power.

MAKE IT LOUDER . COM Sells meters that are almost dead on with a termlab, you can pick the meter up on ebay for like 60. The downfall to their basic sensor is you have to use a multimeter then convert the mv number to db via their conversion chart. I've ran mine side by side with a term and it was pretty well dead on + or - .3db

I think they also have some computer software that makes it operate like a term... I bought my meter in 05 so prices may have gone up.../ things may have changed...

**The Audiocontrol epic 160 is ok but no where near the same as running a T/L

the 160 is really meant to be mounted in the dash not moved around to find a "sweet spot"

the 160 will most likly read 2-3db higher than a t/l

i was just gonna wire it up to a cigg lighter cored so i could move it from car to car.
