they dont have the air space and when you open the doors or windows that lets they air that your woofers need in.
Why are silverado's so hard to get loud sealed?
I've had a regular cab ('02) & a CC ('05) with MANY different setups short of a blowthru. And every setup was louder with windows or doors opened vs sealed. :dontknow:

Ive never had a car that wasnt louder with a window down vs sealed
my s10 is the same unless i put the wall in with 2 18 treo ssx...
any smaller set up, fi btl, orion hcca, dc lvl 4xl, re xxx they all got atleast 4 db louder on tl with window cracked on each side

Yeah, I mean I'm beyond all the showing off with the windows open, etc. I want it nice, clean, & clear with the windows up, lol. Everything will sound great aside from the bass.
this one reason i like my tahoe, because it gets louder windows up
My buddy had 4 Infinity Reference 10s in his Silverado extended cab. It was pretty loud, though not like SPL competition loud. His box theoretically fit under the back seat. With spacers.
Kinda depends how loud you want to be I guess. But yeah, windows down getting louder means you've got too much sub for your airspace.

I'm sorry, I don't understand that statement. Can you explain?But yeah, windows down getting louder means you've got too much sub for your airspace.
if you dont have an extended cab then your s.o.l. with that. but you can try to make the box as big as you can thats all you can really do.
I have a cut through and the 2 15s are loud but when i open the doors its crazy ass hell.
its always been louder when windows are down for me..............
im not sure why though. its almost as if when the windows are up you have a sealed box and when the windows are open its a ported box .
id like to know the science behind this....

As I understand it, it has something to do with the suspension of the subwoofer. Just as a sub needs the correct airspace inside the box, the volume of air outside the box also comes into play. Having your windows down will make the sub see essentially infinite airspace outside it, which depending on the airspace inside the vehicle (and possibly the box design) may make the subwoofer perform better or worse.I'm sorry, I don't understand that statement. Can you explain?
This might be an incorrect explanation of how and why it occurs, but it's how I understood it to happen. As far as what parameters determine it I'm not sure, but I'd guess it has to do with the Vas of a speaker. I think this is also one of the things that goes into "cabin gain".
Also, get vehicles with moonroofs. Then you can vent/open the moonroof to control your airspace, and leave the windows up
Mine has always been louder sealed...but all my installs are more extreme than most
i posted this on another forum. Someone said its due to cancellation
even with a blow thru my avalanche was the same way
that's how I understood it as well. I just never figured out how to work around that, or figure out the "cancellation".i posted this on another forum. Someone said its due to cancellation
I was wondering the same thing. If a blow thru would have the same issues.even with a blow thru my avalanche was the same way
For the ext Silverado it should be tuned around 54hz no wall and tons of port area and you will start to see your score come up sealed, that's all the info I will give you because some day you just might be competing against me lol.
o yes man a blow thru has the exact issues. when i open both windows it comes alive when i open the doors it gets insane. but **** i cant drive around with the doors open.

lol no comps for me, lol. I'm just tryingto get louder inside without bothering everyone outside, hahahaha. Question for you, with tuning that high with cabin frequency, how does it do with the low end? This setup is a daily beater.For the ext Silverado it should be tuned around 54hz no wall and tons of port area and you will start to see your score come up sealed, that's all the info I will give you because some day you just might be competing against me lol.
samething with whatever setup I have in my truck...I really only drive it during the spring/summer though so I like to roll with my windows down
