Anyone else ever feel like this?

[OBI]

Whenever I get a demo from someone else, and they do very similar numbers as mine. I feel that their setups sound louder and make me react differently compared to mine, but they turn around and say the same about mine, feeling more brutal then theirs. Weird affect. Also usually it with similar cone and power too.

Same here...someone elses setup always sounds better/louder

I've always liked the way trunks sound, even small builds

Interesting. I feel like this should be in the off topic section though.

I knew I couldn't be alone lol. But trunks do sound nice for some reason. They must have a similar affect to walled vehicles with ton's of cabin space left over. Because I love how those feel and sound

I think it's the newness. You are experiencing it but not really listening critically. When I had a wall I was use to it then I heard a buddys' hatchback and it felt painful. Same spl. There is a difference between a wall and an suv and a hatch that does over 150 too.

Even with same Spl. They probably do it in different frequencies, that can be why. 40hz and above hurts while below 35 just feels brutal.

Or can be like me, your use to your own and have higher expectations for your own system so you say and "think" is not as loud as others when I fact is the same or possibly even louder .

But yeah, a 150 can be a different experience and sound different from car to car .

Yea I pretty sure this is it. Im looking for more details when I first here a setup. Could be the same as when you first fire up a new setup and then it never feels the same after that.

I think I do have higher expectations with my stuff lol. I remember last show I was at Roscoe was sitting in my car, and I was like "man I feel like my car isn't that loud anymore" and he just gives me a crazy look. lol

Sound tolerance, hence why A lot of people aren't content with their setup after a few months.

[SnowDrifter]

I thought the same thing too LOL

I think it's just because you get used to your own setup

When I had my single 18 on a 2k I had a buddy with an 18 on a 2k as well. Every time he sat in my car he told me it sounded louder than his when I sat in his it would sound louder lol.
