I'm building a custom box for 2 10's in a wedge shape box and I'm not sure if it would be better to fire them towards the front or the back. The angeled part of the box is facing the hatch and the flat facing the front.

Subs don't have a particular "direction" they need to go, its an ambient effect.

i read somewhere its best to point them facing something for the waves to bounce off but i dont know if it will really help alot.

facing the rear

Facing the rear should sound better, but experiment with it anyways to make sure..

cant experiment if he's making it custom.

That's right point them at the hatch and it will sound better / louder upfront. I can't explain why but it's works.

subs create vibrations, the best performance should be achieved when its pointed towards the body (the hatch). i wouldnt point them at the window.

I THINK in a hatch set-up the best deal might be to put the box to one side and

face it it straight ahead, in other words put it on the drivers side and aim it at the

passenger side. In a trunk its best to have it rear firing, but you dont

have a trunk.



The best subs in a house fire down. Its all a matter of application.

Facing them towards the hatch will help them hit harder. Something bout loading up the driver or something like that. Anyway, my Camaro sounded great with the sub mounted in the well at the back, pointed straight up towards the angled hatch. Funny thing, the bass was a little more powerful right against the windshield as opposed to sitting back in the seat https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif



If you opened the hatch and stood with your face right in front of the sub you didn't get near as much bass as with the hatch closed sitting in the drivers seat, yet we're talking a distance of 2 feet versus 7 feet.
