    direction to point subs?

    hello everyone

    which way do you have your subs facing in your trunks? i used to have a hatchback so i'm totally lost with this whole trunk thing.
    thank you

    straight backwards, subs facing the rear bumper

    all the way up as cclose (angled sub box) to the trunk...

    If u have a ported box play around with it more..

    I find having the sub up to the rear wall or where it can pound your car

    Also I drive with my seat down

    I have two 10's and have a ported box faced to the rear bumper and they work for me. I also drive with the back seat down for better sound and to show off my rear strut bar

    I had my single 15 box back snug against the seatback and firing toward the trunk lid. I don't really see how it's going to make that big a difference considering how large bass wavelengths are.

    Actually, I'm wrong. Damn my memory must be slipping. I was perusing my pictures and saw that I actually had the speakers pointing up, not back heh.

    what i have found is that if u place them with the subs facing back at the center of the car it makes the space seem to be bigger than what it actually is and by doing that u get a better sound BTW i have 2 10's in a sealed box
    Y in a world of free speach are there phone bills??

    If u find your self in a hole the first thing to do is stop digging

    Well, not for me, its definintly with the box pointed backwards, seats down for me but you need to figure out what sounds best for your app, and what your tastes are.
