[QUOTE="Trixter, post: 358635, member: 542668"] Crappy subs sound crappy up close or far away. Good subs sound good just the same. Don't know what you have listened to but mine sounds fine whan I stick my head by it. The reason some people face them towards the rear of the car is due to cancelation issues. If facing fowards, sometimes waves that travel towards the rear of the car and then back to the front can end up out of phase by the time they reach the front and cause cancelation. Facing the sub towards the rear ensures the all waves bounce off the back and then go to the front at the same time. A good way to test this is by facing the sub towards the front. Now crack open your trunk. Does it sound the same or better? If it sounds better then you need to face the sub towards the rear. By opening the trunk you let the rear waves escape and they don't cancel out the foward ones. Personally, my sub sound fine firing into the car. All in all you need to play around with placement and see what sounds the best. Every car and set up is different. [/QUOTE]
