Bass outside car

[wkd_clio_16v]

How can you get bass to drone outside the car because my sub and amp just sounds bassy inside the car but when you get out you cant hear it. Yet I see some cars when I'm walking and its really loud and droning etc. Do I just needs bigger/better subs or is it because I have a free air setup as opposed to a bandpass setup?

Please help!
Thanx

I don't klnow myself, but as long as it sounds good inside thats all that matter. Most of the cars that I've been in where you can proper hear the bass outside so really ****e inside because there not set up properly. But then there are the odd few that sound perfect in and out, someone will know.

Isnt good sound inside the car what you want?

One thing though. If you walk away from the car the stereo will seem louder

yeah it will sometimes be louder further away from the car depends on the wavelength

e.g 20Hz has a wavelength of 30 feet iirc

Roll your window down a little

do you wanna attract the thieves?

what is your current setup, amp, sub etc

Decent sound inside a car is always fantastic, but when I hear a car 'boom boom boom' -ing from 50 metres behind me, I often just think '****'.

I'd rather people hear my induction roar or sweet exhaust note than my music booming out!

the thing is you will probably have a louder system than the other cars because less sound is escaping out throught the car panels etc because ures is better sound proofed...its better that way. Like eviljohn said roll down the window

All good points ^^^

Be aware that if you go around advertising your system it's not long until someone takes an interest who shouldn't, if you know what I mean...

I don't think there's many cars that I see rolling around booming the tunes out that I see/hear for any extended period of time, and I'm quite sure that it's not because they've got bored of doing so! Although it's annoying as ****, it's better to keep it stealth around town and then just ramp up the tunes when you're on the road between towns or in places that you're only going the once and are miles away from where you live.

(all IMO of course!)

What's the point anyway?

I don't personally see the obsession with attracting thieves to my sound system, unless you want to impress the 15 year old girls and boys outside the local chippy?

But if you insist in doing so, buy one of these:

with a couple of these:

Like the others said...roll your windows down.
I used to think why dont my bass sound like i wud hear when other cars are driving past...then one day i had all my windows open, while i was hoovering the car, i went inside, i could hear and feel the bass while i was in my house!
Also the bass sounds nice while im in the car too...and its only a 10" vibe active sub...
