Anyone can figure this out by moving a sealed box around in your trunk. any subwoofer will produce the loudest and most accurate bass not when faced at the center/rear of trunk lid. This is assuming that you have an open path for sound to get into the cabin of your car from the trunk.

So does sub facing rear seats with the ski pass down sound like a plan? I'm just trying to get opinions because my box is going to be a b!tch to move around in the trunk and I'm going to have an amp rack making it even harder to mave the box around. I know everyone says try both ways but it's going to be a bit tight. My box is 34lx17hx16.5d, making it almost as wide as the first opening after the rear seats and almost as high as the rear deck.

It's been a couple of years but, when I had my 00 TL, I had a 10" Diamond TDX in a ported box facing the rear seats with a port firing up thru the factory sub location. It is still to date the best sub setup I have had in any vehicle.

It's in a great spot to allow that sound pressure into the cabin of your car.

Well,I didn't get to try the box with the sub facing forward. I had a hard enough time getting the box to BARELY fit and I had to mount my sub to the box AFTER fitting the box into the trunk so there is no way I could screw in the sub through the ski pass, unless I wanted to take the rear seat off and I couldn't even get that off. But I did take the factory sub out and with the ski pass folded down, all I can say is major trunk and door flexing with 900 watts going to my sub. Yep, it's all in the install and judging by the flex from my sunroof, this install isn't so bad
