Default Update! System Restored! Now A Box Placement Question...

My installer friend fixed everything this weekend in my Accord; all power, ground, signal and turn on delay device cables have been re-connected and tightened, and my sub enclosure has been again bolted down in place from the accident I had with the car a few weeks back...I seem to be booming again...

What is the "right" way to face a subwoofer box in a closed trunk for maximum bass output? I have been told, and have seen in most installations, the subwoofers facing you when you open the trunk, with the box pushed back against the rear seat is the way to go for maximum bass because the bass wave fires backward and develops into the passenger cabin. Also, I have been told that by firing subs FORWARD toward the car itself, through the seats, it makes the subs hit more accurately---but with less volume than by facing them backwards into the trunk. My box is facing backwards, pushed up as far against the back seat as possible...which way gives more bass?
