Okay, I'm putting a single 10" Infinity Reference in a 2 door s10 blazer. In the cargo area on the driver's side there is a compartment for the jack & crap, It now houses my xm reciever and power inverter. I want to make a compartment that is the mirror image of this to house the sub. But i don't know what direction to aim the sub, it would fire towards the driver's side if I made it straight, but I wanted to aim it up and back at about 30 degrees so it would fire towards the back window. Is this a good idea or should I just make it fire perpendicular to the centerline of the car? Do i need to add pictures? Thanks for any thought.

oh, forgot, the blazer is a '99 model so the backglass is at almost 45 degrees, so it wouldn't take much to bounce the waves off the backglass, or is it worth the time?

first i would start off by making a "scrap box" and just play around with it by aiming it here and there. it could take quite awhile to get it perfect to your liking but thats what i always do before making a custom enclosure
