Subs facing each other

[TheGreatMonkey 10+ year member]

Before anyone says anything, yes, i've tried to search but for some reason, the search button isn't working for me at the moment. So, my question is, is there any down fall while having the subs firing at each other. The subs are about 20 in away from each other but are facing each other.

Heres a pic, if you don't understand me. I can't explain things worth crap.

If anything, chances are it'll be benefitial, all depends on specific install/vehicle etc though

Dodge Dakota. Instead of having the box laying down, i'm going to have 2 boxes and have them stand behind each seat. It's a extended cab, so I have the suicide doors. And they will be bolted down to prevent them from falling over. And i'm hoping, there will be a little more room for the amps too.

Hmm...everyone has told me that you can't have subs face each other because they'll cancel each other out, it won't sound good.

HT guys do it all the time with IB set ups, it's called a manifold and they do 4-8 subs that way. Or sometimes 12 like in the pic. Subs fire up through an opening in the floor of the theater room.

Thats a common misconception.

Sometimes a standing wave can occur on the cone of the subs but that can also happen in the wrong sized enclosure.

Ive got a 78 camaro with a 10 in each side of the trunk behind the wheel well facing each other and they sound good. Dont get any cancellation but they are about 3ft apart. Works fine for me anyway but might be different for the distance between the subs.
