facing forward, but more for show reasons then for sound, however my back seat is made of nasa memory foam and absorbs alot of the of the bass. Looks good though, and it makes enough bass so everything sounds good together, not overpowering.


HOWEVER you should have them facing your trunk lid, which is needs to be covered with sound deadening.

all depends on how getto you wana go on it and what you want to do? you want SQ? you will need some foil mat, check aroun here we get a discount on one of the mats but i cant remember what.

the getto way, and this only stops SOME of the rattles, is to use expanding foam between the trunk lid and the bracing under it. the foam is like a glue and will secure the sheet metal and not alow it to move at all.

i face mine toward the trunk. Made the lid rattle, but some deadener took care of most of that.

all cars are different in how the cabin gain works and which way fireing the subs produces the cleanest loudest bass with the least cancellation... just get a small sub (like an 8 that your buddy has laying around) or anything for that matter and move it around in your trunk or hatch, and see where the sub hits the hardest (with the trunk closed) forward, backward, sideways, firing up, ect. then you will know how it hits the hardest for YOUR car.
