what u drive

its a 2007 mustang so its not a big trunk at all

it's bound to rattle, but in my experience facing the back toward the rear gives you the best sound in the car. my truck rattles like crazy outside but sounds great inside.

ok so should i mount them right behind the seats and face them backwards? i am building the box myself so i can do it any way i want

 

[soloXgt 10+ year member]

then do what outspoken says, sub up, port back . should sound good if u build it right

i think he's going sealed, and yes, i'd say subs toward the bumper... but if it's not too tight, you can always try different positions to see how you like it. some deadener will help as well with some, not all, of the rattles you might have...

In my Monte, My subs are facing Into the cabin sealed off from trunk. It was noticable louder.

this is my first build so im being quite adventurous just building it myself so im gonna keep it simple and just go sealed for this first one. so i take it that i should face them back and then maybe i can just play with it to see what i like the sound of better?
