cichlidfort Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 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?

jizzybizzy Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 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 Quote you ain't been bizzy til you've been wit jizzy.

PaulO2288 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 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 Quote you can cook bacon shirtless if you're not a pussy...lol not hatin, but am i wrong here it looks as if the amp is not grounded its hooked directly to the battery. it that the way it should be.

wL<3bass Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) 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.
