It all depends on the vehicle, really. I have found in a lot of SUV type cars that facing the subs backward and upward, towards the back glass works well however it isn't always the case.

Furthermore if you have an EQ or crossover that can adjust the phase of the signal then you can change the phase to suit the location and facing direction of the subs.

I am curious as to what he means by facing them down (?). Where would you face them down from, the ceiling of the vehicle?
