Can anyone provide some feedback on sound quality differences between their supercab or supercrew and the regular cab.
I have a high-end audio system in my Lightning, but have yet to get the bass level right and am wondering if it has more to do with the lack of interior volume.
I will be buying a supercab in the fall and am wondering what differences I can expect to hear.

Thanks,

Rob

 

I owned a Lightning and now a Harley. I had 2 10's in the Lightning in the proper size box and it hit hard. The challenge is choosing the right speakers for the space you have.

I now have the 12" JL stealthbox in the Harley. While it sound very good, it is not nearly as loud as the 2 10's I had in the Lightning.

Hi Mark,

Would you say the sound quality ( or sound mix ? ) is more pleasing in the HD ? I can certainly get my (2) Jl microsubs 8" to play loud enough, but many times find myself getting tired of
too much volume.......maybe I'm not explaining this as well as I should ?

I find that in my wife's Expy I don't have to make it as loud to enjoy the music and thus can listen to the music longer

 

Maybe what you are saying is in the EXPY, the bass blends better into the overall sound. In your regular cab, the subs are more noticable or easier to pick out. That is pretty typical if that is what you mean. You can try to compensate by upgrading the front speakers so the midbass can play lower freq's well and/or set the crossover freq lower on the subs.

The crew cab will give you a little more seperation. The best setup is probably something like davenders with the subs in the bed "ported" into the interior. As the low sound wave extends, it becomes less directional (or at least the human ears perception of it)
