bass

[marc novataken]

how do i make the bass in my car really loud. runnin a 12" infinity kappa with 500 watt amp and 10" fli active in my car sounds ok inside but cant hear at all outside. had the same problem with 12" pioneer. but my mates 2 10" sony xplods on 400 watt amp are loud as hell. thinking about running 2 12s together would that work?

id try to stick to the same brand subs if your running more than one at once, and what head unit are you running them off? as if its a lower spec model, Mutant X etc, then you will need to upgrade that!
what enclosure have you got your 12" in also? and is it cladded out?

[rodgers]

its all about the enclosure

[Spudly]

Your subs are mismatched for one, ideally you want two 12"s nut how often do you run or walk alongside your car whilst driving....... Never youre always in it driving, sooooooo.

Can you see whats coming here?



If it sounds good inside then there is nothing wrong at all, do you spend loads on your ice to entertain the street urchins when youre driving about or yourself?

^ As above.

If it is audible outside then that means it is leaking out in a sense, thus making it quieter inside - where it's meant to be heard.
Deaden the car and keep it inside.
It's gay wanting the bass outside just so people hear you!

dynamatt your boot and around your spare wheel, keep the noise in, i agree!

[brainsnova]

its never a good thing advertising your stereo system for scum to see you have some sounds :thumb:

dynamatt your boot and around your spare wheel it will not let any noise get out well a bit will but it will sound better mate

[leenovagsi]

im now runnin a 12" alpine sub and 1000w amp, its a dual voice coil sub in my own custom box and at about half the sterio volume u carnt swallow, if u want high power u goto start savin for a quality sub an not a budget one then build a box to the specification of that sub if u take your time doin it right ittl rock your world
