Hi All,

I am sorry if this has been covered many times... but I have searched here and on Google and have not come up with much.

I have a sub box with 2 subs... and I was wondering if it's best to place the subs facing the driver, or facing towards the rear of the vehicle? Or even facing upwards?

I currently have them facing towards me, and I am not really satisfied. I haven't tried pointing them towards the rear yet, cuz I would think that I wouldn't hear them as well. Is this true?

Thank you for your time...

I have almost found that sub sound the best, and loudest facing the rear of the vehicle. I have heard others sya else wise, but I thnk this is the best way to go

mine are facing the rear. not only does it make it sound louder, but it also allows you to show all the wannabes what you got.

I agree. Facing the rear usually sounds better.
