most car will have this prob, open window the sound pressure will be moving in and out, so u will feel it's louder..ur car is actually a sub box, the window is the port

hi sifus, i need some advice.. i seem to like a bit of rear fill in my car as it sounded more 'complete' to my ears. may i know wad's d best cut off frequency for rear fill? 5kHz?? i read somewhere tat too much highs at d rear is not a good idea...

wad i'm using now is front components powered by amp plus coaxial 3-way speaker at d rear shelve powered by HU. initially i dont like d sound as d highs r coming from all over. i tried to fade it to d front or completely turned off d rear but it sounded 'hollow somewhere' (i dunno how to describe....it just sounded weird).... thus i experimented by disconnecting d small wires to d coaxial tweeters at d rear n d overall sound is much better. am i doing the right thing?

also would like to know if there's difference where d location of rear speakers are. it seems tat most japanese cars hv their rear speakers at d doors while Protons still hv theirs on rear shelves. does it makes a lot of difference?? thanks!

My car have rear speakers at the back and I just fade the rear fill quite a lot
Need to wait for those Ice sifus to reply but I tested with too much highs at the back and it sounded like the soundstage being dragged to the back which is no good

fren, the "complete" you mean are actually because u lack of sub bass....add in a sub will be the real deal....ur rear spk are giving u the echoed bass and u might think it's more complete as it generate a better ambience to ur car by the echoed bass, by getting a sub u will eliminate this problem and have a beautiful front stage with lotsa nice ambience...on 15th, i and a few elantra owner had been playing with component, amp and sub for a few hours...after the sub come in, you will totally forget about the rear fill and concentrade on the front nice staging

Added on November 17, 2012, 11:57 pmBtw Howie, how come 128kbps sound softer?

actually japanese cars have both rear speakers and speakers at the door panels.

my nissan sentra is exactly that mind you, and hell most of them use that as marketing too (eg: 6 speakers! 12 speakers!)

Added on November 18, 2012, 4:23 ammp3 bit rate? not enough bitrate/details and the player (HU, or DAC) unable to play it.
that or the mastering/ripping of said file has the volume done low.

haha I'm getting dedicated monoblock ams for those subs lolz
And for the mp3 bitrate maybe your 320kbps is actually less than 128kbps just upscaled
