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.

But also mine doesnt look cool either..Mines a fully enclosed mdf box with a 6 inch port in the middle bouncing off the glass. i call it my stealth because you dont see anything but a box with a hole in it. Down side is its not pretty because your subs cant be seen.And if you feel the need to play with your speakers is a pain because you have to open up the top of the box to access the subs..But to me its sound over show.And it great for college area where systems are known to get stolen because if its covered in black carpet you cant really tell theres a box there if you hatch is tinted.
