Avensis Audio?

[Bilal8210]

Hi i have recently bought a 98 GLS Model avensis. i have had a subwoofer and amp fitted which is extreamly loud when inside the car. I have 2 x 12inch jbl subs and a v12 alpine amp. The problem is that when ive got the subwoofer on high volumes inside the car no bass seems to get outside the car. Everybody just looks at me as if ive got a crap system? i was wondering why the sound doesnt get out of the car as my last car was really loud with the same system. id like the bass to be heard outside the aswell as inside. Anybody know if i can do anything about this? thanks!!

I would think you should be pleased - you're paying out good money so why should other people get the benefit? :D

One other thing - if you do find an answer, please don't park near me. ;)

Why on earth would you like your car to be loud outside of it?

In my old cars, which had extra car-fi, I loved the fact that no major sound was getting outside of the car. If I needed to let others know that the car was loud, I'd open the windows ;-)

What on earth is the point? People won't go "ooh, what an awesome sound system you have", they will just think what an anti-social idiot you are.

Of coz - have you seen "Blues Broters"? - they made an excellent sound output in their Charger :)

PS. Jesus, I really love :ffs: people with their elbows hanging outside the window and "umpa-umpa" rumbling from the trunk...

it's called sound deadening fella, i've got £3500, yes thousand in my boot and when it's not on, not much noice... bliss, my sounds are sooo good i've won awards, you'll need some in ya doors tho, they shake a bit on mine, lol, when "CRANKED"

So theres no chance of really getting the sound out?

Of course i want others to know ive got a good sound system, whats wrong with that?

lol ive paid quiet abit for the system so why not let everybody know? With the same system you used to be able to her the sound from strrets away but not in the avensis! lol thanx for the replys neway and would be really freatful if sumbody could advise me?

Thanks!!

Well - I hope you didn't put in £3500 of ICE, so that others can hear it. The sound is for your listening pleasure, not for others to be annoyed by ;-)

btw, technically - sound passing through the car, would mean distortion inside of it, am I right?

Sorry, just don't understand why you'd want others to hear that its loud - chances are that they will most likely think that you are an idiot :-D

On another note - my experience is that saloon cars are better at keeping the sound inside of the car than hatchbacks (and also harder to get bass into the cabin). Try and get some passageways from the trunk to the cabin, the simple way is letting the back of the backseats down.

Oh, it's just trolling - that's what it is!

I have just one thing to say on the matter of noise pollution: :censor:

A.S.B.O

All those in agreement, please add comments!!

Its seems that most people here think a car stereo is for your enjoyment, not the whole street. Enjoy what you got and don't try and upset the neighbours is my advice.

[Mackers]

it is indeed all for MY purpose and quality, yes it's soooo loud you could hear it streets away, if the boot and doors was indeed open, but they'd have to compete with the "jap" style exhaust, on my custom system.

You say there is lack of bass from you're supa woofers. You should check that the phasing of the Speakers are ok especially if they are close together. Make sure the positive of the Speakers goes to the positives of the speaker outputs of the amp, and the negatives to the negatives . If you get it wrong the Speakers act against each other and cancel out the sound!
