[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 8200431, member: 560148"] If it's a small vehicle adding some extra speakers in the rear will help fix the issue. You could also try a louder set of speakers up front instead which would sound better when it's all said and done. If you knew that's how you usually drive I would have went with some sort of pro audio styled car audio speaker to start with. (not true pro audio though since I'm assuming you need the passive x-over). A good real 92-94dbw/1w/1m speaker should be able to overcome road noise like that. I know my last setup using 8's and horns, swear to god couldn't even hear ANY road noise with the windows down going 80 on the highway. The normal wind noise got drowned out, and that was on any type of music, not just rap lol. That was a 97db/1w/1m front on around 125 watts, from 3/4 volume and up you had no issues with road noise with the windows down. Always build your system aruond what your using it for. If your mostly on the highway windows down then dont' go with a "SQ" car audio component set. Get something in a similar budget that will get louder, even if it gives up a bit of fidelity to get there, you can't hear it over road noise anyways. [/QUOTE]
