Careful with this; An auto is not long enough to support a 100 Hz
wave. At 100 Hz, the wavelength is about 10'. Much of the output that
you hear below that is a pressure/resonance phenom and it can be dependent
on where you sit/mike. Wanna hear where all the bass is coming from in the
little Acura's and Civics? Pound on the windshield. The one note bass is
because the car is a drum.
So when you use a sound level meter, you have to make sure you
are not situating it at a null point where reflections cancel direct
sound. It is easier to listen for cancelation/proper summation at the
crossover freq.
