it's all up to you! What ever you think sounds the best. try facing the subs in diferent directions and then take the car for a ride and determine for yourself!

it all depends on the sound you want... Technically speaking, if you were to put the sub right behind the back seats, with the sub facing the back of the car, you will get more bass, or feel more bass rather. This is because as the sound waves travel, they strech out so to speak, and that gives you more bass becase the waves will bounce off the back of the car, and then travel back to the cabin of the vehicle...

But like they all said, none of that metters if you're happy with the way it sounds just as it is now.
