aim subs into car cab or aim them into the trunk?

I am trying to decide which would be better aiming them into the cab of the car or toward the back of the trunk. I was thinking about aiming them into the car so I could buil an amp rack on the back of it to house all my amps, etc and still save room for golf clubs.

theres really not much other people can say beside test it out and see what you hear. i spent a bout an hour situating my sub different ways. my car didnt make much of a difference(no fold down seat) so i chose to have it facing the trunk for cosmetics.

my seats do fold down so that is a big difference than my last car.

Yea basically you just have to play with the box.

ya just try it a few ways and see what you like. i pointed mine into the car because there was too many rattles when they were rear facing. but my car is a crappy old taurus without a fold down seat, so i just ripped it out, and am in the process of making the seat into a folding seat( I can weld. )

sounds pretty kool that ur making ur own fold down seat. i plan on firing my magnum d2 into teh cabin of my car. we'll see how it sounds vs out the back.

i have fold down seats and 1 Magnum D2... my D2 sounds better faceing the trunk and is louder that way.... but it all varies on your vehicle and set-up...

Mines face the license plate,best sounding for me.If u can face them forward then port them thru the rear deck that will sound awesome

more than likely it will be louder facing the trunk

however...

if you fire into the cabin, and make sure the baffle is sealed off from the trunk...you will eliminate the cancalation assosiated with forward firing

even with the seat in, forward firing w/sealed baffle is alot louder than rear firing
