I just tested my SPL level today and at normal volume(what I usually listen to it at) max at 126dB.

Which meter is this? I think the last time I checked, they didn't have anything accurate over 130 db. I couldn't find anything accurate over 130 for under $100.

you can buy one really cheap that reads under 130 it will also go over 130 but it's not that accurate. What steup does your installer have, mines just all around rockford fosgate 325.1 amp and 2 p1 12's
