Post Which would sound better?

I have a hatchback car with 2 12" subs faceing the back of the car. Would it sound better faceing forward or faceing the back like it is?

AH the age old delemma

the only way is to try it
disconnect the amp on the top of the box(just a guess)
make sure the wires are long enuf
spin it up
spin it front
spin it down-with spacers

in my 84 rustang my 10's sounded best pointed back,not much difference from up
my 96 cavalier-into the trunk,and I tried front,up and back

what kind of box-sealed,ported,bandpass

just a guess-you have the amps on top of the box in direct sunlight with no tint
just reading your post on heat
probably wrong,but it would be a good guess if I was right

Default probably

should be mounded so it(they) fire and rebound off the glass then forward otherwise , firing straight forward with your hatchback and all to avoid un natural harmonics(heh heh)sure yea i can see it sounding better firing straight forward so the waves dont start canceling by getting caught up in that pocket formed by the angled glass in your hatchback

Biggrin

Their are in a ported box, (the only box required for the subs) Personaly I like sealed better than ported. I have not tried bandpass. As far as the amps mounted on top of the box,

you are are right, but only half way right, I have tint and louvers on the back glass and it blocks all sunlight lol.
