Subs facing front or back?, Before i build my boxes Options

[sapperk]

I know I get asked this alot but i do not know if i have the right answer. Subs in a hatch back. I am mounting them where my back seats go. Be fore i build the box what direction should they face. Ive tried towards the front and the back and i really dont notice a huge difference. Does anybody notice a difference wether they have them facing foward or towards the trunk.

Like I said the trunk is a resonating camber...but your case since you have a Hatchback the whole car basiclly acts as one. You would not usally hear it outside of the car that well unless you haev some serious power going to it. Also if everything is vibrating what you can do is remove all of the plastic paneling around the hatch itself put dynomat around it , take a roller or something simlar press it all down. DO NOT make holes where the clips would go in, instead press them through the dynomat until they click into place. This should stop the hatch from shaking. As far as the plate you can take off the rear plate assembly section dyomat 2 or layers in there then also take off your plate and apply dynomat directly to the back of it. This should but elminate the rattle. If it doesn't then go back and do another layer.

resonating

Dude I got 2 layers of dynamat covering the entire trunk. It still rattles like crazy. I have 2 MTX 12" thunders at 800 watts each. I have a 1600 Watt amp pushing them. I dont know if thats considered alot of power but it kicks the hell out of my trunk.


I think im gona go with the facing front for now. 1 15" that would pretty pretty freaking sweet but nah i cant do that. Ill tell ya how it turns out in my custom interior topic.
