Hey guys. I had my subs firing into the car for a while now, but decided on flipping it around so it fires back instead of into the car. Cause firing it in, makes it seems like there's lack of bass. Just wanted to know how you guys have yours...and which way would be better?

 

Everytime the bass reflects off of a surface it gains 3db, so I would aim it towards the trunk.

 

So it would sound better if i face the subs toward the back of the car, and not into it. I think i'm gonna flip it around tomorrow to see how it sounds.

Thanks

 

Everywhere that I hear, the best position for the sub is to fire towards the back. You get better response out of it, and the sound isn't as muffled. Subs are meant to displace air, so I would figure if you had it facing the back of the rear seat it's not displacing that much.

 

yup...i think both of u are right...cause when i open the trunk..the bass hits so hard in the car..but when i close it..it's all gone...that's why tomorrow, i'm gonna flip it around....

 

I have 2 Soundstream Exact 12's in my car facing into the trunk. I have actually tried them facing into the car with poor results, however I have seen a lot of subs in a lot of cars like that. Flip that box around I think you will prefer it facking the trunk!

 

Hey guys...well i flipped it around..and let me tell you guys something...UR RIGHT... it sounds so much better..i get more bass...but the bad thing is..i'm gonna have to redo my trunk..cause my amps are still on the box...so i'm gonna have to move them to the back seat...well...THANKS for the help
