Curious on how the spl on let's kicker comp on same wattage, and how some are more efficient at lower wattage. Along with woofer size....probably best to do test with a smaller amp...at maximum rms power for smaller kicker subwoofers... same amp different types of subwoofers and sizes.... corner load them....😉

I like to put the meter on the front face of the driver's headrest. It's a great way to measure what your ears will actually hear from their listening position. Placing the meter on the windshield or at the kick panel will always give you higher readings then you will hear from a driving position. I don't know why people measure in these places. Whether you're driving or at a car audio competition, no one is sticking their face up against the windshield or turning upside down and laying their head on the floor. Nobody listens to music from these locations. The metering device it's not listening to the same thing that the occupants of the vehicle are listening to. So what if it gives you a couple of extra decibels at the competition, you're not actually hearing it. I found the most accurate representation of SPL is suspending the measuring device in the center between the two front headrests via string or some such thing. Another way to add accuracy is to break the mechanical connection between the measuring device and your vehicle. You get the lowest Peak numbers doing this, but it more closely represents what you and your passengers ears are actually hearing. You might get 140 on the windshield, but your ears are only hearing 125. You know this is true because 140 decibels at your ears would cause immediate and catastrophic damage to your hearing. 140 decibels is rocket launch loud. Also, 140 decibels at certain frequencies has been known to kill humans. This is why American defense agencies are trying to build Sonic weapons. They are actually quite efficient at dispatching biological life-forms.
