i dont know if a truck is for sure louder but its open air so its hits a little bit better since the sub is about i dont know 18inches from you

well a truck has less air space so it can get louder it is all setup

i c so then a coupe car would be louder then a sedan car given they are the same car? if i did a wall on both?

I had the same setup in a tacoma, then put it in a caddy trunk, and the truck just blew it away...

So wait, are you walling off ALL the vehicles?

If so, similar results CAN be attained. Now, if you are comparing a trunk install to a wall in a car or a setup in an extended cab truck for example, then it's not quite similar.

I never could get "low" in my truck as well as I could in a station wagon... It's louder but not lower. which sucks imo

I have a sedan and i am building a wall for it but i wanted to know how much a difference it is between a wall sedan and a wall truck. Cause walls in trucks seem so much louder at least i can hear them from farther away. and i know thats not everything but even in the truck it sound louder with out a wall vs a trunk install same system setup. ect. do you understand now?

Comparing walled vehicles to non-walled is not even close.

It is easier to get a truck setup louder than a trunk car, though given the right amount of effort and equipment, both can become very loud.

Now, walled trucks and walled cars will be MUCH similar in performance since you are cutting down the amount of air you need to pressurize, thus making the "cabin" space of both vehicles fairly similar. It really comes down to the builder, the design, and the equipment being used as to which will be louder.
