It is to go in the back of my Scion XB.. If this does sound good how do you build something like that???
I do not think it is neccesary with a car install due to the acoustics. You will get similar results by facing your box backwards or firing up. I would not fire down unless I had to, but yes it can work.

Cool, the only reason I ask is I enjoy feeling the base in my lower back and chest but the back of my head takes a real pounding... anything to reduce the air column around the top of my car would be a big help
Yes, the reason home audio people do it is to increase the "loading" of the subwoofer, to increase the output. Due to the tight confines of a vehicle, the subwoofer will be "loaded" no matter where it is placed inside the vehicle (we call this effect cabin gain //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif ). People do downfire in their vehicles; but it's more for functionality/cosmetic reasons.
Yup, have my 2 subs downfiring, but almost all us ex. cab pickup guys do that, about the only reasonable option we have.

What, taking out the seats and filling it with a sub enclosure isn't "reasonable"? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
jackfrost do u listen to DNB ?
Haha, untill I said F it, I was wondering if this box I made was very resonable. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
