Questions about facing my Rockford Fosgate 12" subs facing UP....

[KillerQ 10+ year member]

Hey all,

I have a pair of Rockford Fosgate 12" subs mounted in a nice ported box (ad you can see from the picture). The absolute most optimal position to maximize cargo space in my expedition is for me to mount the facing UP as you see in the photo.

I'm not worried about any change in sound response, but I'm worried about the fact that they're facing up. Is there any harm in them facing that way (long-term, or otherwise) ? I hear horror stories about gravity, and cone sag, etc....i just wanna make sure I'm not physically harming my nice equipment.

Thanks a ton in advance,

Matt!

It's fine. I would not be concerned about gravity and cone sag.

You're good a lot of people with trucks have they're subs facing up without any issues

Dont face your subwoofers upward. It can cause your car blinker fluid to leak out of your turn signals.

Dam. That would explain why my blinkers don't work sometimes....because my subs face up, port back aslo.

And my transmission is acting funny because I have my seats are down. You know, because the transmission is in the front and all...and they're really nice subs.

Sorry for the delayed response response, my email notifications for this thread weren't working...

Thanks for the feedback, guys! Yea, I'm powering these with a Precision Power S1300.1D, and they sound amazing.

Also, I feel even better since I already knew enough beforehand, and I purchased the blinker fluid warranty when I bought these speakers (was only $45).

Thanks again!
