Default Show me your subs

I put my two 10s in yesterday , I have a fiberglass box inplace of the spare tire and was wondering if this is actually the BEST spot for them. Seems like you would want them aimmed parallel to the glass for the best hit. How do you have yours aimed?

it sounded amazing in my 240sx hatch back. Kinda sucks in the stang with a trunk.

Why do You think having them firing up would be the best?

i think hitting the glass dead on would make for the best vibrations based on the set up I had in my hatchback. The sub was perfectly parrellel with the glass. Also i heard from many man people to aim it at the glass. BUT this fiberglass box gives me much needed room .

Typically in a trunk car it's best to fire them backwards.

Likewise, in a hatch most people fire them up and have the port firing backwards.

A bandpass box amplifies output on a small frequency band.

Bandpasses can be good for certian applications but generally they have to be too large and sound really bad on music.
