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

its not hard to get box done and to make it sound loud and be optimal it may take a little trial and error but its not to bad, one option that has worked really well for me is sub up and port back, this is a crx style box and works well in suvs and hatch style cars, or you could try the sub and port back and just try and angle it, and the only other way i have tried that worked well was sub agenst the back of the car with sub and port facing twards the front
