The debate of which way to face a subwoofer matters more in a large room than in a car, but you'll still get different sounds in a car by facing the subs in different directions.

It's generally accepted that you'll get more "bass" (or "boom") by facing the subs to the rear. Some people report better SQ from front facing subs but I've never noticed. Depending on the trunk design, upwards facing subs could produce anything from more bass or more rattle. In reality it all depends on the enclosure and trunk design.


All that being said, I'm a huge fan of my Zenclosure single 10" box. Someone mentioned them getting a box custom made somewhere else for cheaper. Zenclosures custom made my box (via a phone call) to match the volume perfectly to the sub I purchased. Great customer service and I received the box to my house impressively quick.
