Darla Taps the Tank Subwoofer test... (1 Viewer)

[bgilly]

Not sure if this is something everyone can do (Guess you need NEMO)

I just thought it might be something fun for ALL SUBWOOFER users to take part in....just something friendly

I wondered if people could take out their SPL meter and play the Darla taps the Tank scene. It has Very Strong bass centered around 30hz and for the most part doesn't have too much above or below that point....

I'm curious about a few things.
1. db registered using C-rating slow on the Radio Shack SPL Meter from Listening Position......Just post uncorrected numbers...meaning, post exactly what your SPL meter shows....
2. db from 1 meter away (this should help get an accurate reading for everyone since LP varies)
3. Room size cubic feet
4. What subwoofer set up are you running?
5. What setting of Master Volume and what do you have your sub dialed in at?

I'll start since I just watched it again and it gave me this idea

1. 105db from Listening Position
2. 113db from 1 meter
3. 2300cuft (not sealed due to open doorway)
4. A single SVS 16-46Plus
5. Master Volume -4db Sub is calibated to 72db on SPL meter (uncorrected)

I wanted to give a more "real life" score for mine since I really don't listen at -4db, that was just a test since I could tell there was a little more headroom for the sub when played at my listening volume....

At -8db where I actualy watched the movie I had measurements of...
1. 101db from Listening Position
2. 109db from 1 meter
3. 2300cuft (not sealed due to open doorway)
4. A single SVS 16-46Plus
5. Master Volume -8db Sub is calibated to 72db on SPL meter (uncorrected)

Interesting. I will have to pull out the meter and do this. May take a few days though...
