Subs

[Rob.]

What way is it best for them to face. UPwards, FRONTwards or BACKwards.
I mean the whole box ?

In other words. Is it best for the subs to face the front of the car ,the roof or the back of car

And why?

 

[Pettsi]

if you face them to the back of the car, as they hit bass, they make the car go quicker! on a more serious note, i'm not too sure... sorry!

 

[donofkarma]

In my experience they seem better if they are playing through the car - whether they are facing in or out however I'm not sure about...

 

[Tigger]

It doesn't matter what way they are facing, they will still give the same amount of bass.

You can alter the amount of bass slightly by putting the actual sub itself "arse-in" or "arse-out" (usualy requires a custom enclosure though)

ATM mine are facing To the front of the car. But it sounds worse then it did when it faced up. I think its cuz i removed the boot liner and stuff.

 

[Dink]

it's supposed to be better having the cone facing the boot in a small hatchback.

don't know why but there was a disscusion on talkaudio about it lol

which ever way they face you won't alter the amount of bass but you might the sq

 

[A18XHO]

doesnt really matter as a back seats not going to stop any bass atall, but facing them to the rear is how i have mine

 

[Sy]

I face mine towards bootlid. Didn't sound much different either way though.

 

[Tigger]

My cone is tilted "arse-out" upwards facing towards the rear wiper.
My enclosure is built to enable me to flip my sub around too

Well it goes from 30 - 320 ..gonna be hard to be accurate with it, id put it half way between 30 and 1/4 of the way round and see how that sounds...ie just above 30

Turn the volume rd on the h/u till u think its at its max with no audible distortion, then turn the gain up from minimum till your happy with the ammount of bass.
Dont over do it thou ...
