[QUOTE="c_clarke77, post: 2410451, member: 572085"] Alright, so I'm totally new to car audio, but I've just been looking around and researching before I actually get a system of sorts, but I have a couple questions regarding subwoofer installation. Now, I have a '93 Sunbird LE (Coupe), so my subs would most likely be in my trunk. I mostly see subs in trunks in some sort of box, whether it's sealed or ported, facing outwards. My question is: Is this the best way to set up a sub, or are there better or just as efficient ways? Other ways that I was thinking about were: - Facing the box inwards, so I could flip down my seats, and you'd see the front of the sub(s). - Basically, mounting the sub(s) facing inwards like above, but leave it free air (one solid piece of MDF secured & sealed and subs mounted in this, using the trunk itself as a box of sorts). - Removing the spare tire, and mounting the sub (most likely a shallow sub)facing upwards. (Fit the MDF to the spare tire well, mount the sub, seal & secure MDF, fit carpet around sub, using the tire well as a box of sorts.) These may be stupid ideas, but it doesn't hurt to try, and maybe if one of these installations seems plausible and would (most likely) work well, I could have a different look than most. Oh, and by the way, I've been considering Infinity or Pioneer as my subwoofer brand of choice, are there any suggestions, warnings or opinions on these brands for subs? [/QUOTE]
