Moore941 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 when the windows are down all ur doing is porting the vehicle making the sound of the subs louder edit: what ive always noticed is more windows down the louder it sounds because of the simple fact that ur allowng for more air to be moved 2000 White Dodge Durango 5.9L Flowmaster 40 Series through 2 1/2" with and open cat. 1 Dc lvl5 18 4 6.5 seleniums and 2 D200 Selenium Horns on Rockford 500.2 Big three upgrade and a kinetik HC1800 in the back with all 1/0g knu wire shootin for 145+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liftedranger08 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 At competitions you do windows up to create as much pressure on the meter as you can. 2000 White Ford Ranger 5" RCD lift 33x12.50 Mickey Thompson MTZs on 16x8 Mickey Thompson Classic 2s Euro Altezza tail lights 5% window tint Clarion Indash 4 Q Power 15s 1 Sundown 2000 1 DC power 300 amp alt(on the way)-soon to be 2 2 powermaster d925s batteries Second Skin Deadener Highs/mids amp-Crossfire 404 Door speakers-2 5x7 mb quarts and 1 5 1/4" black max up front, stock 5x7s in the rear Soon to Come: Lots of SA-8s 2 Sundown saz 3500s(possible 4500s) 5-7 d3100 batteries custom clamshell BNC 8s for mids undecided tweeters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmanjr82 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Not always true, some vehicles gain with a window down, depending on mic location. In usaci (mic in the kick) on the passenger side in my 2005 ford explorer with the drivers window down its louder then any other configuration.

liftedranger08 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 I think it depends on what class your in. With the meter on the windshield, mine is louder with windows up. I havent tried it in the kick panel yet. 2000 White Ford Ranger 5" RCD lift 33x12.50 Mickey Thompson MTZs on 16x8 Mickey Thompson Classic 2s Euro Altezza tail lights 5% window tint Clarion Indash 4 Q Power 15s 1 Sundown 2000 1 DC power 300 amp alt(on the way)-soon to be 2 2 powermaster d925s batteries Second Skin Deadener Highs/mids amp-Crossfire 404 Door speakers-2 5x7 mb quarts and 1 5 1/4" black max up front, stock 5x7s in the rear Soon to Come: Lots of SA-8s 2 Sundown saz 3500s(possible 4500s) 5-7 d3100 batteries custom clamshell BNC 8s for mids undecided tweeters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moore941 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 so if i ever meter my truck do windows down? No i wouldnt unless it calls for it the loudest my truck was, was with the driver door open in Bassboxing, But with both doors open i actually lost db's, but to the ear most likely will be louder windows down but each vehicle is going to react different as no two builds are the same 2000 White Dodge Durango 5.9L Flowmaster 40 Series through 2 1/2" with and open cat. 1 Dc lvl5 18 4 6.5 seleniums and 2 D200 Selenium Horns on Rockford 500.2 Big three upgrade and a kinetik HC1800 in the back with all 1/0g knu wire shootin for 145+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
