Which Way Should I Face My Subs? And Why?

[BenH]

If you're running 2 15's it would be retarded to fire them back because you would basically be sealing the trunk off from the cabin. I'm not going to say that it can't work firing up, but so far every trunk setup that I've seen with the subs firing up was poop. Firing forward is your best option.

So everyone agrees towards the front

you better look again.

I would fire tham back.....unless the box completely seals off your trunk and then fire them forward other wise fire them back and port back or port through the rear deck.....nad I would listen to SPL2K and Rusty they know what they are talking about...

SPL2k Rusty and Noob said to the rear....and they are pretty knowledgeable sir.

LOL!!! Awesome!! Ok, I know this is not my thread, but I have 2 15's sealed, firing rearward. Is this what you all recommend still. spl2k, rusty, noob? 02 sunfire, 1000 on each 15.

[emperorjj1]

only way u want to fire forward is if ur box is sealed or if there wouldnt be enough airflow firing backwards (that case u should seal it anyway)

Ok so then I will be firing rearward lol least I didnt install the box yet, thanks guys

I've done both in my old car with the same subs and amp. With the subs front firing and sealed off I did a 141.4 out of the trunk and with the subs firing to the rear I did a 144.2. The only real difference was that the 144.2 was with 2 12's and the 141.4 was with 2 10's. The woofer size isn't going to make a 3 db difference though, it was because I flipped the box to the rear and gained.
