Subwoofers facing upwards or towards the rear end

[uglydimple12 0]

Let's talk about subwoofers in general, which way will it perform the best, subs facing upwards(the roof) or facing towards the rear end?

just wondering since i ve seen a lot of people doing upwards around here.. unless i just dont notice anyone that points their subs towards the rear end..

Completely dependant on the vehicle.

Toward the rear in an SUV. If your doing a ported enclosure you can face the subs up and port toward the rear.

i got an suv i built my box to where the sub is on the same side as the port and i have tried up but i think when you face it to the back its louder... but your roof will flex a lot more if you face it up..

Sealed I face rear for better low end response.

Ohhh yeah. Definitely face the rear if it's sealed.

I have a 95' Explorer and I have found out that the subs faced up with the port back is the only way to go. I use to run port and subs both faced back but have found out it works much better how I have it now.

How about in a Scion tC? Would that be the same as a SUV even though the glass is angled?

Subs Rear for Daily (i highly Recommend a wedge shape box to allow the waves to pass into the cab easier...)
