[QUOTE="havoc06, post: 266853, member: 548712"] well as far as the bass sounding louder when you open the windows, that all depends on the frequency of the bass and your set up. Its because bass takes distance to form. For example, a bass wave at 35 htz may take 30 feet to form, so with the windows up, it doesnt create a full wave. Thats why higher frequencies hit harder on mics, because they form faster. And rolling down the windows will only help higher spl numbers if your car isnt set up right, because if your true res freq of your car was found and port tuned correctly, rolling down the windows just throws it all off.
