Wedge or no wedge. You are going to have to try it and see. Every box is different as is ever woofer. Every car has different acoustics. Its trial and error. Just take the time to move it around and see what you like.

That sounded excellent.

I have no redone it thought, to accomadate a JL 1000/1 and 300/4 amp. and a new ported box. Still fires at the back seat. I like it this way in the mustang, because it is virtually inpossible to get rid of the trunk rattles. The tail lights, the spoiler, the rear bumper, gas tank sheild, trunk trim they all rattle terrible. Fire at the back seat and it there are no rattles. The only difference I have noticed quality wise, is that the bass notes are slightly "looser" sounding in the car. But the sound level of the bass outside the car is much louder. Those are the only two difference I have noticed. Oh, and it shakes your mirrors a hell of lot worse.
