I recently attended a very small local show, with my new setup of Eclipse Alum. 12's.. 3 of em, and 2 250.1 amps.

I pulled a 142.5 on Saturday, which is okay, but the day before it was 135. I played a much better note on Sat, but the mic appears to have been running much hotter on saturday (about 7 db.)

Is it normal for mic's to fluctuate like that???

Also.. With three high excursion 12's, in a Ranger (standard cab) and 2 250.1's (I'm estimating about 2000 watts total), is 142.5 a reasonable number? I couldn't play the right frequency (skipped my cd player) so I played a sweep slightly lower...

What do you all think?

Hmmmm, mid 140's shouldn't be much of a problem IMO

Hmm..I have seen changed that great. Could be do to weather if the amps or subs were warm heck..a few different things..But I have seen that great a diff. But I agree I think that a 140 shoud be doable with that...

Our Avenger was 6 dB off between 2 shows. They were different meters, but that still hurt (got 2nd by 1/2 a point!)

Well, the first night a guy that beat me (iDBL different cone class, he had 8 XLC twelves) did a 138.8..

The next day he did a 141.1 right before me, after switching out his 2 250.2's for two 1100a2's.. Then I went up and destroyed him.. :}
