Silverado DDZ build

Doesn't do hair tricks on the passenger side?

I'm not sure, but I could try it. I just had people go to the driver's side because it's loudest in the driver's seat.

Everyone said it would be loudest on the passenger side if I put the port on the driver's side....... lies. All lies.

The next re-build I do, port is going on the passenger's side

I was told that years ago also. Remove your passenger seat & take this out blah blah. Did all that at a show and gain a big fat 0

Is your port getting covered by the seat?

Also driver window cracked open will get loud for the passenger.

Yes, partially covered by the seat. Can't be avoided because of my space restrictions, and I don't have short legs. I'm nt going to drive like a grandma so my port isn't obstructed. I'll just let people sit on the driver's side for demos until I re-do it

Yes, that's how my car was loudest in the passenger seat. Passenger window up, driver's side down. It's not too loud like this in my truck, unfortunately. I'd planned it to be that way, but it didn't work out. If I meter, I'll put the driver's seat down and forwards

Both Windows down is usually loudest, I put the windows up and it's terrible lol I think I might have a port issue
Depends on the song. Higher frequency stuff is louder with both windows down. Low frequencies are loudest sealed.

Both windows seems loudest, but on the meter its not.

Depends on port orientation.

Fold your driver seat down when giving demos with driver window partially down and you will get passenger side loud.

Covering the port alot will somewhat change port tuning and will obstruct alot of air. Next wall you should do center to get both sides loud.

Driver side port almost always meters better on the passenger side. Moving air may be a different story though. You just have to mess with different combos of window/door orientations.

Every vehicle is different and every install is different. Putting port in middle doesn't mean equally as loud. It could in one but not the other. Car audio is trial and error and not what you heard on the Internet

Center ports tend to unload less with doors/windows open but not be as loud as a port that loads off of one side. Vehicles aren't as different from the b pillar forward as in no wall builds.
