vj226966 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Being my full size ext cab was totaled out this week,i bought a 1st gen RX7.I got the specs and i can fit my 15s in the hatch area.Question is do i face subs towards the front of car or can i aim them back facing the glass?I have friends back in the day face them up towards the glass,but i will be using every inch of space possible and that means they would be real close to the glass.Besides of being scared of breaking glass"i wish"would it affect sound being that close to the glass?I know how it sounds with subs facing the back,it gets nasty!What do you guys think?

kl0wn Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Well, it all depends, if you face them towards the glass they will probably sound louder, but also after a while you might break something holding the glass, or maybe even crack the glass. If I was you, I would build 3 different boxes, 1 facing forward, 1 facing up, and 1 facing backwards, and see which one sounds better. Or build 1 box that you will be able to position in all different ways, I personally never had a system in a small car, only in an small extended cab ranger but it was only 2 L5 10s, and they sounded best facing backwards positioned a little bit up right at the back glass 06 Mini Cooper S Sundown, SoundQubed Cadence, XS Power 151s Sealed 155s Outlaw Windshield @ 37hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanarrjl Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 ^do what he said personally id face them upward at the glass but your latch will probably end up wearing a ridge in it 97 Honda Civic Sedan Rear disc brake conversion 2" drop 17's lots of exterior mods SYSTEM SoundStream VIR-5850 Dvd player RE 6x9's and 6.5's Soundstream DTR4.500 Soundstream DTR1.2200 8" RE-x in a t-line Kinetik 1800 Plans 4-SA-8's Another Kinetik High output alt My Cardomain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He most likely means where the back glass meets up with the roof 06 Mini Cooper S Sundown, SoundQubed Cadence, XS Power 151s Sealed 155s Outlaw Windshield @ 37hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
