I see that you guys who provided pics of your subs in their boxes have the boxes up against the rear seat, with the woofers firing toward the trunk, out at you when you open the trunk---this is how I have my huge sealed box with my two Fosgate 15's, and yet I always wondered if this is the right way to face the box---in a closed-trunk vehicle, such as a sedan or coupe, should a sub box fire backward, toward the trunk area, as we all have it, or should the woofers fire into the seats, forward? I have heard so many theories on this; that by firing the woofers the way we do it, it creates a "bass wave" off the trunk lip that develops and then fires back into the passenger cabin, providing more boom. But, I have also heard, that in vehicles like hatchbacks and SUVs, subwoofer boxes can fire forward toward the passenger area because it's all open back there---the bass isnt trapped in a closed trunk....is this so?
