does it matter which way subs face in a trunk car?

Either fire them toward the tailights or seal them off firing into the cabin...

do something other then having them fire up. Subs that fire up in the trunk sound like ***

i might add some sound deadening but i have heard of people who add too much and end up sealing in the trunk itself and can't hear much in the cabin. i want it to be loud inside the car but also be able to hear it a couple blocks away. would the deadening stop some rattling?

evry car is different.... my subs are the loudest (1.2db louder) if i fire them into the car with the box as far back as i can get it against the tailight mounts and sounds better also this way...just depends....every car is different...

If you really want that, just put your windows down. Imo, $250 is better spent on sound deadening than a sound violation ticket.

Thats probably because the trunk itself its sealed off from the car. Just deaden the deck, tail light wall, 2 side walls and floor...and why the **** would you want your system to be heard from blocks away? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

On this topic. According to what i've read here. fireing the sub/ports towards the rear/taillights is best. With that being said. How close/far from the rear should the box/sub/port be from the rear?? I mean should the box sit up against the back seat so the sub/ports are 1-2ft from the rear?? Or all the way back so the sub/ports are 1"-2" from the rear?? Sorry, I just need to find out what will work best. I will however test it out once I build the box, but I figured a heads up would be cool. Thx guys, Vic. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

x2 nice diagram //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif . but to the op , testing will find out everything , but in every car i had ( trunk ) its been much louder imo and sounded better , and scored higher on a mic.. What there saying about the cancellation is about all you need to no.. if you had a hatchback where the subs would be up firing up against the glasss would be a different story

mine is firing back and its about 6 inches from the back of the trunk..

evry car is different.... my subs are the loudest (1.2db louder) if i fire them into the car with the box as far back as i can get it against the tailight mounts and sounds better also this way...just depends....every car is different...

x2 on firing them up sounding like shite most of the time. Sub and ports to the taillights is the way to go for trunks. Deaden your trunk too. Ghetto rattle sounds like shite and roll down your windows if you absolutely must be obnoxious with your system from two blocks away.

Fire them towards the rear of the trunk.

subs back, port to passenger side
