Which Way Should My Subs Fire?


Recommended Posts

I have a tahoe...and I am confused on which way to point the subs. I've heard several different things, from firing to the rear, up, and the front. I don't have a termlab, so I can't test it myself. Which have you guys seen to work best?

But if the ports are to the back, would that make the SPL reading less than if they were facing up? I realize that SMD has his to the back, but this is a design I came up with, and I was wondering if it would work good.

The sides where them amps are will be covering the wheel wells, making the whole thing enclosed from the top of the rear seats, down.

that would still work.

traditionally subs up port back is the loudest . some work better subs up ports to the side its all trial and error.

Hence numerous rebuilds you will see in the build logs. If you were all for numbers, you would be rebuilding boxes and taking every little reaction your car makes into effect rather than if you were just making a groundpounder
