3D Burmester trunk sub question.
I noticed my trunk sub doesn't only play lows (bass) but also some other tones such as singing comes through but very muffled. Can anybody else with 3D verify? Thank you.

I am sure you are just hearing the higher frequencies coming from other speakers situated in the cabin. Why you would listen to the audio system in the trunk is beyond me, it’s not meant to be heard from there and will always sound weird,bad, distorted.
Again, the cars audio system is meant to be listened to from the interior cabin, nowhere else.

I understand that. I had the radio on and opened the trunk to get something and found it strange. Usually woofers only play bass so I was confirming but it could be they didn't filter it 100% for whatever reason.

My first career was as a recording engineer and acoustician, what you are supposing just doesn’t make sense at all. Take my word for it, your amps, sub and entire stereo system is just fine...assuming it sounds fine from inside the cabin.

I have an aftermarket amplifier connected to my rear subwoofer so results may be a bit different, but I checked for what you're saying today and it appears to be correct. I thought it may have been coming from inside but upon raising the volume I could "feel" the sound from the area around it.

Your car stereo system is doing exactly what it’s supposed to be doing. Whatever higher frequencies you may be hearing are either coming from the same subwoofer because the crossover point is set higher or it’s bleed through from other speakers in the cabin into the trunk.

Subwoofers produce bass sounds which are lower spectrum waves on the frequency scale. Lower spectrum frequencies at higher volumes can be felt as well as heard.
