Optimal Sub Angle and Amp Size Options

[LastOfTheSTs]

Hey Guys,

I'm planning a 10" or 12" sub for the trunk just to round off my upgraded sound system - I was planning on probably making my own box for it and the amp but I was wondering, if there is indeed one, what is the best angle for the sub to be mounted at would be, i.e. straight up. straight back towards the end of the car, straight forward to the front or at a 45 degree angle... any thoughts?

Also does the box need to be any specific size in relation to the sub size beyond physically holding it?

Thanks for the advice

yeah it looks good (not sure about the stuff in the display cabinet).. more power than I'm looking at though, potentially the following combo:

Sub model: JBL: GT5-10 - 10" (JBL GT5-10" Guide)

Amp Model: BL: GTO-752e Amplifier

So from the advice here and my research I'm looking at the following for the sub enclosure for a 10" sub:

A ported enclosure sounds best sound against complexity of build. For my combo I will need 35.4 liters.
Different shape sides to prevent resonance issues
Have the Sub pointing towards the rear of the car with a slight angle upwards

Any other tips - also any thoughts on the my Amp/Sub choice, will this be enough for my needs?
