I have two 15inch phoenix gold titanium15ds subs in a single cab truck and it hits really hard in the inside of my truck but on the out side it just sounds like some 10's. I can put a quarter on the roof of my truck and it will flip it and the out side of my doors move about 3/4 of and inch. but it is just not loud on the out side. What can i do to make it loud on the out side so people can her me coming.

If you put them in a ported box they will sound louder, granted that means that the box is going to be bigger than what you have now. If space is not an issue then put them in a ported box.

Try playing with the way you have them faced. Face them upwards, then try facing them towards the back of the truck. They usually will sound better when the sound bouces of of something solid. Facing the front is not helping much in this matter. Dyno will help but not to the extreme that you are looking for. Do you have them in the recommended size sealed enclosure? If so just face them as I said above and let me know how that worked out? If it helped?
