Leboy23 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) Im doing a trunk build with a xl 15 in a 96 altima and dont have much room. Which would be the better way to face the speaker in the trunk, firing up or firing towards the rear bumber?

CJ18 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Personally I would fire it back. I dont like subs firing up in trunks, for me it just creates too much rattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbykw Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 In my experience if your box has space on the top and side face it back. If there is little to no space around the box to the front of the car face it forward. I had my subs up port forward and the box barely fit in my trunk, it worked, but was a LOT louder when I opened the trunk.

Azagtoth502 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 My last car I did the speakers facing back (seats didn't fold down) Tried it forward, sideways, facing back was only way it sounded good....IF your seats don't fold down.

JZeFF Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 If you have fold down seats, i would face it forward. I currently have an 18" nightshade in my trunk and i have it firing upwards. I also have 2 aeroports through the rear deck, and in my opinion it sounds awesome. Rattles are an "issue", but thats why im ordering some second skin...

MarioB Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Port and sub forward sealed off from trunk if they fold down. Otherwise try port it threw the rear deck Quote 12- DC Audio m2Lvl3 12's1- Hertz HSK3 way2- DC5K's2- ZX350.42- Stinger SP1500D batteries in rear3- runs of 1/0ga. to the rearTeam DC Audiodcsoundlab.com Quality is all in how you take pictures I have plenty of projects that look WAY better on camera then in person crazy to fit so many in so little.
