craniumcrackinbassv2 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 i have a 4 door sedan and was wondering if facing the sub to front of the car would make it sound at all better.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex K Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 only if it's sealed off. If you just turn it and call it a day, it won't be as loud as if you left it firing toward the rear.

Bumpin the TWP Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Do this and seal it off with expanding foam, such as "Great Stuff".

splwizard Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 i got a taurus and i have my port facing the back of my trunk and it seems louder. when i flipped it forward once it just seemed like it had a little less trunk rattle. but no real increase on sound Quote 1999 Taurus SE Power Acousticks Mofo-15 Crunch pzi 3000.1d Rockford Fosgate Prime 150.2d Alpine type S 6x8's Stinger 1/0awg wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me that with a username like that you would know simple basic principles, especially with the way your subs are firing. Lol. Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

Mr. Darkjustice Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 ill break it down sub port back = sounds good with the least effort sub port forward = sounds like crap unless its sealed off right then its the superior of configs sub port up and sub up port back = your trunk gettin ripped to shreds, breaking the locking mechanisms, and any sensors for it will go to crap lol Quote Fusion With A Stetsom 4k2d on 2 DC XL 15s tuned to 31hz and Subs and ports forward The Revolution Was Not Televised But There Is This Thread(clicky) Dr Merkenstein is my 360 gamertag and my profession.
