I've never seen the meter ronnie setzer uses, so I can't say....but it should be competition level instruments they'll be metering with. 3 different categories: show & shine, SPL, and dbQ...which is a combination of install, SQ, and SPL. $30 to enter, registration from 9am-noon. Competition isn't too heavy, I'd say a couple of you on here have a fair chance of placing, plus you'll get to see what your car hits.
