Bass inside the car, not outside.

I noticed that since my sub is in where the spare tire used to be (and is facing up), most of the bass stays within the car. The bass can be nice and loud inside the car, but you can barely here it outside the car. It's either the positioning, or the fact that my enclosure needs to be redone in MDF (I did it out of some old 3/4" plywood I had laying around).

Does anyone have thoughts on this?

my yaris is always loud on the inside and not so much on the outside.
I even drive with my windows open and have my music real loud to hear it over traffic noise, then when the windows close back up its uber loud and annoying...

i guess the yaris just seals in the sound?

why would you want the sound to be heard on the outside anyways? that just lets people know you have subs to be taken. i can play my music loud with my sub and im happy you cant hear it outside the car much.

That is a desirable effect of the Yaris having to be rather sturdy to get decent crash test ratings methinks.

Did a birdie pop on your shoulder and remind you you might get flamed to high hell on a forum for posting the desire to have your bass blasting outside with the windows UP?

Booming the neighborhood isn't cool. If you're cool, you don't care who notices you. :)

Oh, don't get me wrong, I love it that it's mostly on the inside, rather than the outside. I was just making sure that my setup was correct :)

Everything is 4G wire, running from the stock battery. I have plenty of fuses at the correct Amps, and all the amps' RMS match the speakers they go with.

If I have all my windows rolled up in my sedan, I can have my setup beyond the point of pain inside the vehicle and all you hear outside is some trunk vibration and a bit of the thump. however, if I roll the windows down you can hear it comming from over two blocks away. sound dampening for the win.

keep in mind, not everyone wants to hear the music you are listening to. I turn my stuff down when going through residential areas, after dark, or often when at stop lights. only time I really try to annoy anyone with my system is when a 1980s honda prelude with a broken primered ground affects kit and 3 mis matched wheels is assaulting my senses with mariachi music blaring from a blow pioneer sub...then I prefer to drown that crap out.

Oh I hear you on that one Spades! There are several around the area like that aren't there? The only thing that would compound that is that hooptie plaing polka music...
