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.

The enclosure is just under .5 cubic feet. It's predominately MDF, held together with a few screws and fiberglass on all of the seams. It bolts into factory holes, has a small footprint, allows access to the spare tire and jack, looks decent, and sounds great.  It only took me about 6-8 hours, so it's by no means perfect, but I'm pretty happy with it.
