Example:

"All cars are louder with a door open, with a window open or even 2 open. I think it's because when it's all sealed up with everything closed, the subwoofers are somewhat under pressure, limiting their movement. When you open a door, suddenly the subs are under less pressure and can move more, making them a little louder.

There's also that thing called "the hot seat", when the car is all sealed up on the passenger side with the door open on the driver's side. This way the passenger (victim) feels a lot higher dBs than the driver, making him jump out the car like the seat was hot. There are cars that do 160 dB all sealed up on the dash, but if you open a door and meter in the kick, the score goes up 3 dBs or more, the equivalent of double the RMS.

There's also this EXO video where JP's girlfriend broke Scott Bowman's golden rule, which is to never open the door at max volume, because the sudden change in pressure could make the subwoofers bottom out or unload, which would damage them."

in most circumstances, the front wave from the subs conflict with rear wave bouncing off the windsheild or what ever objects are in the vehicle.

this is why in alot of situations the subs sound better with a window open or a door open
