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...

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.
