Keep in mind this is on a regulation Termlab, that reads the same as the one Mike Hadden uses at every one of his certified DB Drag shows. Its not boosted up like some of the others TLs around. The AC also reads a little higher depending on which model it is.
But a 155 on music in a groundpounder with 8 subs is definately respectable.
Well, first it was a 154, now it's a 155? I don't know what kind of power he is running (assuming atleast 8,000 rms because each sub is rated for 1000), but 8 15's off of > 8,000+ rms, in a wall, should be hitting higher than that. I have seen plenty of people hit 152-154 with 2-4 15's off of same amount of power on a TL. Also, was this baserace or a burp? What is he tuned to? What frequency did he hit 154/155? All factors in determining how "respectable" this is. Either way I do agree that 154/155 db's is loud as hell. And is definetely louder than me, but then again I'm only running 2 15's and 3000rms.
