Which way to face subs in trunk


Recommended Posts

I might have asked this not too long ago but now I really want to know which way would sound the best in a trunk. Wish I could have an endless supply of mdf and test it, but I don't. Don't have money to buy any deadener at the moment, so which would keep all the bass in the car the best?

Also, if you had a plexi window for a side of the box, would it sound the same as mdf? thanks

sub forward, port up through the rear deck, doesn't get much better than that.

What exactly do you mean by through the rear deck. Would I have to have a hole in the rear deck for this to be efficient? Also, my seats don't fold down but I do have a little armrest that does. any ideas?

Yep, but cover the hole with speaker grill cloth so it looks clean but allows the bass into the car unobstructed.

Sounds reasonable to me. It was basicly between that or facing them up. My trunk doesnt rattle too much so either works for me.

Anyone try pvc as aeros?
