Subs don't bang as hard?

road noise is going to alter how hard the bass hits?

no,but it will get in the way so to speak unless you are running enough power to overcome it.i can have my sub going pretty loud.when im doing 90mph with the windows down,its not as seemingly loud.see my point ?

mine plays louder in the mornings when its cold in my vehicle. of course i play low vol for a bit for sub to warm up. but my aly charges higher in the am then say 3pm.

From a technical standpoint the cooler the components inside the amplifier the more current they can handle so a cold amplifier will produce more power than a warm one. However, this is probably so small it's negligible....

also realize when driving and having the windows down the outside air is being pushed into the car where the subwoofer air pressure is being pushed out. Thus the oppose each other making it "quieter"

No, you're giving the subs the ability to flow air out of the vehicle, lessening pressure on them. They reach more excursion on the same power this way, and you more often than not pick up on the mic too. Sealed up just makes it harder to breathe on the right notes, it's more often than not louder with them down.

Edit, I realized you said driving, which would force air into the cabin at the wind speed +/-(depending on direction) your travelling speed so yes, to an extent you are right.
