These Pioneers
pound pretty good

I have a friend that has 2 of them in his car.

 

Those Mach 5's look great! I'd love to give one a listen.

 

it looks good but I will never buy a speaker I cannot hear first.

 

Downward. Less sound reflection (time delayed) than pointing it towards the back.

You do need to consider at what Htz you plan on cutting off at. Under 100-150 Definitely downward. 150-300 towards the back should be okay and ever better since you won't muffle the higher frequencies. You will still have a delayed sound though unless you have time phase correction built into the amp.

 

damnit man your messin everything up!!!! I had been planning on doing a rear firing sub... I would not imagine sending much above 130 hz to a 10. I am going to build enclosures to go with the 6.5s up front to fill the mid bass.

 

kicker L7 hands down. i have mine hooked up to a 500rms kenwood amp and i get loads of bass. perfect for my rock/ hardcore music and it can fit in a truck i think. you can get a complete setup like mine for around 500-600 depending on what else you put in

 

thanks but I am allergic to kicker........

 

kicker is weak. go with the mach 5. it pounds, trust me. i have the 12" and its getting 1100 watts daily in a .8 cu^ft sealed box and my trunk and mirror are ****ed!! i cant wait to go ported in less than a month!!!!!!!!

 

i can post a vid in a month of my setup if ur interested
