Next to theaters, cars are the ideal speaker environment

I always have pretty good sound. Just no soundstage, no closing my eyes and point out the instruments location. Clarity, in lows, mids and highs, never an issue. Magic though?

Can get pretty close in a van or RV if you really watch what your doing..

My Camry will please. I tightened the whole thing up with dampening mat.
4 doors, trunk, and floor boards.

It’s all wonderful until I start it.. LOL

Alpine head set
10k watt system. Three, power amps. Two 3K stereos and one 4K mono. class ds 1/2 ohm stable. YUP 1/2 ohm..
COOL as cucumbers.. at 4 and 8 ohm.

I use a 30 farad cap bank, all wired with SOOW 4 x 4 gauge copper. I still have most all of my trunk and it looks beautiful it’s all in armor and mounted in two custom modified well pockets either side of a FULL size spare, behind the rear tires. Dude it can bounce.. Kids can’t believe a single 10" and my setup can hit 120+ db.. 124 actually AND I drive up, all grandpa like..:-) Stone stock 2003 Camry. Perfect shape..

You pop the trunk and swing the doors open up against a two story about 60 foot wide.. :-) Its clear, that’s, all but good... MONO ay...

The second 12 VDC battery is in the spare compartment centered under the spare. Lithium. 200 amp alternator and a Gel Cell for the starter, main and computer circuits.

I’m wired at 4 ohms for the bass and 8 ohms for the doors, dash, and rear deck.

Single 10" IB (sealed) rear
4 6 x 9 coaxial in the doors
4 tweet buttons AMT doors
4 5 1/4 coaxial front kick panels and rear deck
2 top mount dash 3" FR drivers

Again looks all factory.. The Organic Mechanic strikes again.
Boom Boom. "Da Club" comes to mind.. little Carlos, War.. Cisco Kid. :-)

Guy/Girls.. 1000.00 at the most.. all the drivers, less the tweets and sub, are pro drivers. I did the work.. No funblin fool in my cars or PUs..

Not me.. I like um, better than ear phones. I turn them up to loud and I can't hear what's going on outside.. I drive first, not listen to music..

You swear it was the other way around with cellphones and stereos in cars though. Everything BUT driving.. more like herding.. Stop lights on the freeway on ramps.. IF they accelerate instead of fu@k with the phone or radio, they might make it on the freeway, without a stop light..

You know what that cost? BILLIONS... oh oh.. sound... ok.. I'm back..

OK E, it's not that bad of environment, but it sure is a challenge.
Underwater is tough  :-)

The speakers are often a box and the room is a box.....These 2 boxes interact one with another but not only and always in a destructive way.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Roll down the windows and port the second box. It reduced EAR sound pressure, and some nasty reflective surfaces right by your Left or right ear depending where you set.. I’m the driver. BUT I don’t listen at any volume when I’m driving.. Setting still, oh yea I’ll swing the doors out. We’ll have a pound off, every now and then with the oldhvymec, and the KIDs. Under 35 mph at least one window down, with any volume.

I don’t use any OB stuff either. All the drivers are in tuning pockets, or self enclosed. AMT..

Oh I forgot.. For peanuts, too. I've done a LOT of cabs in my time.  All part of the job.. Cassette and CD in that Alpine head unit. YUP... I wire straight to my phone...NO WiFi..  BAMB...
