does it matter which way the subs face in a trunk car? i got a grand marquis and they have huge *** trunks, my 15L7s will both be facing up and the port will too. would it sound any different if they faced another direction?

Fire them towards the rear of the trunk.

the sound waves bounce off the back of the trunk and be in phase instead of out of phase then go to your hears then hit the windsheild and out the windows to who knows how far and the bass will be louder and deeper, try it

so the best thing to do is face them back? what if they face up?

Just know that if the subs and port are facing up to the lid of the trunk then you will need some serious serious sound deadening.....do you plan on sound deadening the trunk?I would do it,but I amnot keeping my car but for a few more months so that would be a awaste of money to me...

Rule of thumb in a trunk car is subs and port firingtowards the tail lights.

Subs towards the taillights always seemed the loudest for me. My next box though I'm doing the subs toward the taillights and the port towards the drivers side.

if you've got seats that flip down you CAN fire into the cabin...
