bsneon98 Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 This is almost like asking how physics works. There are so many variables in place here.

walrus salesman Posted January 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Well i think I've finally figured it out after extensive testing, I know most of you wont give a shit but someone out there will care about bass getting out of their car.. anyways, it's all in the dashboard. Shorter rounder dashboards make the bass sound smoother and also make it carry nice outside the car, cars with long dashboards generally keep all the sound in, you can make your own assumptions as to why this is the case but it definetly made sense in my testing and it explains why cars like old ford explorers. Nissan maximas, blazers, and jeep cherokees get really loud easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotdog Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 I had a 1983 Olds Cutlass that traveled well out side. Short dash makes me wonder.

Skullz Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 How does the dash of a vehicle work inside a home theater? The shape of the dash has nothing to do with projecting sound outside. Why does someones new system not sound as loud as your buddies POS $1k system that totally pisses you off cause you just dropped 3k and should be louder. First, his system is tuned higher, and second, his system is broken in, there are variables that contribute to how loud and how far outside the sound will travel. Sound projection is not always a good thing, cause it can cause police and thieves to target you. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadeTreeMechanic Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 The only way to know for sure is to get one vehicle and have a removable dashboard. One big and one small. This way it narrows down to one variable dashboard. 91 C350 Centurion conversion ( Four Door One Ton Bronco) 250A Alternator (Second Alternator Coming Soon) G65 AGM Up Front / Two G31 AGM in Back Pioneer 80PRS CT Sounds AT125.2 / CT Sounds 6.5 Strato Pro component Front Stage CT Sounds AT125.2 / Lanzar Pro 8" coax w/compression horn tweeter Rear Fill FSD 5000D 1/2 ohm (SoundQubed 7k Coming Soon) Two HDS315 Four Qubes Each 34hz (Two HDC3.118 and New Box Coming Soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadeTreeMechanic Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Also tuning high makes it carry farther. Haven't you watched any of EXOs videos?

IH8PunkRok Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Two things to mention here 1. The cabin of the vehicle acts like a box, absolutely. Your doors and windows are your ports. Obstructions kill spl. Simple as that. Some boxes may cause the entire vehicle to accidentally be a really useful bandpass. Therefore louder, louder travels farther 2. Low frequencies are louder farther away from the car than high frequencies at the same distance. This is because of the length of the wave. Fun physics.

Yeah I know but I did the next best thing, same setup same subs same amp in 2 different cars and one car was much louder outside, you could hear everything from 26 hz to 60 , other car all you heard outside was 38 and above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fascinating as shit honestly how moving farther gains db's. In all my experiences I've always felt like 42hz and above was super loud outside when you're close by like 50 feet away, lower frequencies were much louder super far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buddy's system is cheaper and tuned to 26 hertz therefore your argument is invalid 2. You haven't done testing on this, I have , therefore your argument is invalid 3. I tested the same system in 2 different cars and one car was much louder even though they are both midsize sedans , Dashboard was the only factor I noticed. Nothing else makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
