Is It Possible To Get A Car Loud Without A Wall?

[cichlidfort]

Right now I have a Jeep and this summer I think I am switching over to a car. I still want to be loud but I am wondering if I will be as loud in a car. I am not going to wall anything either so that's not an option. What do you guys think?

Ahh...define loud.

[jizzybizzy]

cars and suvs sound completely different... typically the back seat blocks a lot of air and dampens the sound a bit...

suvs usually seem to be louder

if you were to put your exact same system in the trunk of a car... you'll more than likely be dissappointed

145 db or around there give or take.

Box with subs back port back and seats down to allow air flow your going to be louder. That box position was a lot louder than subs up port up in a SUV

145 db or around there give or take.

lot of factors.. what kind of car is it a hatch, are the subs just going in the trunk however, are you going to fold down the seat and seal them to the cabin, vinyl or cloth seats size of car etc

ask steve

You can easily get 145 in a trunk car with a little work.

I mis read i did not see you were going to a car. I can do a 142.0 sealed up on the dash with just 2 type-r 12's and 1kw, it was 144.5 on the TL with my drivers window down. i dont think 145 would be hard to do at all

There is quite some variation to car leather seats and large trunks aswell as "beefier" made seat, interior padding, and a few other factors attribute. To get a small car with a small trunk and cloth seats is easy to get loud. A large car with leather seats, heavy padding, and large trunk are much harder to get loud. Of course you could always port through the rear deck. Hatches such as focuses are easy to get loud aswell.
