What way would you face

Just looking for opinions. I have read alot of post on facing sub and there seems to be alot of dif arguments on it.

Its a 2007 nissan sentra spec v. I am about to redo my trunk layout and cant decide which way sub should face this time.

My back seat does not go down. Currently the sub is facing the back seat and box front is sealed off from rest of trunk. It sounds pretty good hits nice. I get as much airmovement in cabin as possible being backseat is in the way. Which isnt bad just not alot

i have had it facing toward trunk lid and it seemed like it hit hard as well. Only thing i hated then was my trunk lid looked like someone was trying to beat there way out when bass hit.

Anyways i feel like the sub cant breath like it should facing the backseat.

Now if i face it to the rear again it will be sealed off from front of car when finished. So im worried i wont get any air movement in cabin. only thing i can think of is if i face it to the rear is to remove the rear deck speakers so the subs can breath into the cabin. not sure if that will even make a difference.

Can anyone give me some advise?

I have some dynamat in ther now but I just got another Bulk box to finish whole trunk. Did you run rear deck speakers? and how was bass in cabin? any air movement?

I am only running 1- 12" Kicker CVR dual 4 ohm on a kicker mono 400.1 at 2ohm

I would face the sub north..... always north..... downside: you can't turn because then your sub points in the wrong direction and you looz DBeeZ

Real answer: I think the way you have it now would be the quietest in both volume and rattles... normally subs like to load off the trunk walls
