rear facing I think it is the funniest thing when people come in and think that there subs will be louder if they face in the car....but then they cant figure out why it sounds like garbage and isnt that loud one word repercusion.

Depends on the car and your taste. My advice would be to try firing them rear or forward and see which way sounds the best to you.

rear firing almost always sounds better, i just put two 12's in my mother altima and it sounds much better with them firing towards the rear with the seats in either position, (up or down)

As auex said it depends on your ears as too what you prefer and to what sound you are looking for out of your system. So basically trail and error.
