Just curious, who believes that box placement, facing rear, facing front,sides etc... has an effect on the amount and the quality of the bass in your car? I have seen a few articles written on the subject that states that there is no benefit to placing the box towards the rear of the trunk due to wavelength and frequency range. I have to disagree since I can hear a huge difference in both quality and quantity when my box is placed in this fashion. Any opinions?

 

yeah I agree box placment is key to good qualty bass

 

So very, very important. Every car, truck, van.... will sound better with the box facing a certain direction. Different box position all depends on the vehicle and the box design. You will like to keep enough distance from panels for your ports to be effective.

Question: has anyone tried their subs firing down?

 

I did a while back with a pair of Orion XTR's, in the trunk of a honda hatchback, it sounded alright.

A friend has a Sierra Extended Cab with 2 MTX6000 12's firing down in a custom box under the back bench running on a JL 500.1 Amplifier.. It sounds great.

 

yup every car is different , say hatch cars are better in the back and trunk cars definatly facing back , SUV is a huge strugle i think better in the back but like i say flip your box all over in your trunk till u achieve your desired bass levels
