Have to try it each way, but usually in a sedan with a trunk, face them towards the rear of the vehicle with the box up agaisnt the back seat.

try all the positions its the only way to find out. there is no universal position that is the best gust try everything and use the position that sounds the best.

Personally I have my subs face up. You didnt mention that as an option but you might want to try it. Just dont let people lay stuff on top of them.

My subs are facing away from the back seat and into the trunk.  It sounds very good to me.  I didn't like the way it sounded when it faced my back seats.

That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.
