difference between 2 door hatchback and 4 door car


Recommended Posts

okay kinda noob question if theres 2 15s in a car with trunk compared to the exact same setup in a 2 door hatchback how much louder would the hatchback be? same box same amp etc etc. lets say the car with trunk hit a 147 on tl how much more would the hatchback hit? 2 dbs more? more or less? i know it will be louder just dont know how much louder. its a ported box. i feel like a :noob:

Steve I don't know why but everytime I see your new paint I want a Dr. Pepper...... is this normal?

heres an analogy for you. running a high power stereo without a fuse is like having unprotected sex with that hot chick at the bar with the sketchy sexual history. Sure you may be fine and nothing happens but that one time something does happen you're fucked.

i dont want woofer broke like bass sound clip clip and voice coil overheat

there are too many variables to get an honest non-biased response to the question. fact being you could have the exact same 2 vehicals with the same setup and go to taco bell in one and burger king in the other and your meter readings will be pizza

I agree with everything he said. You shouldn't expect a straight answer for this question

The hatchback will have better expansion and more likely be louder on the meter since the hatch essentially acts as a horn. The theory is debatable though..

Nobody can tell you how the numbers will pan out. Too many things to consider.

Need an install? Hit me up.

Who says the hatch will be louder?

If you have a box built for a trunk car, it may not be optimal for a hatch.

2 different car styles require 2 different optimal enclosure designs.
