[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 1136844, member: 549629"] How can you say the waves are no more direct when firing them subs straight at you, versus bouncing them off the rear walls? Bouncing them off a wall will inheritantly give more wave reflection, ending in cancellation and reinforcement, something not friendly to accurately sound reproduction. No, we aren't talking about tweeters, so? Just because bass is 'omnidirectional' does not mean placing the sub anywhere is fine (as you know). You are talking about localization, Im talking about wave cancellation/reinforcement due to reflections. Because we are talking about sound waves that are too low to perceive their source (omnidirectional) does not mean we can ignore wave reflections as well. This comment confuses me, considering you are trying to convince us rear firing is generally better. As for the wall thing, you were the one to bring the walls into this discussion. I merely mentioned facing the subs forward with the trunk sealed off. You are trying to take that and say its the same as someone who builds a wall right behind the driver's seat with the sole purpose of acheiving as small a cabin space as possible.
