Sal...I would not use that rat shack meter...coming from a guy who used to compete in audio competions do not use it...you are better off judging by ear..that 125 is almost tapping out that meter if it had not done it already...the rat shack meters also don't take frequency into account...it will pick up on resonance...Just judge them by ear..... the numbers the rat shack meter put out are worthless and would not use it for anything above 100 db
