now got those L5's in, should i face the box towards the back of the back seats?
or towards the trunk?

 

have it firing towards your backseats (face of the sub facing the trunk)

 

I say towards the cabin... You can fold down the seats, roll down the windows, and rock on!

 

^ yea and it wont make your trunk lid/rear bumper rattle as much if you do it that way.

 

Face it into the trunk so it effectively uses the airspace in your trunk to produce sound.

 

if you can try it both way before hard wiring it in, do it! That'll be the best gauge in knowing what you'd prefer... I prefer less trunk/plastic rattling and more acoustics in the cabin with the rear seats folded down!

 

yeahh thats waht i ended up doing, the sound place says it would be better towards the trunk though?

 

Mine have always sounded louder/better when facing the trunk lid...especially the closer it is to the lid...

 

^Ever try turning it around though and fold the seats down? World of difference... With the seats up, no need to open windows. Fold down the seats, you'll having hearing loss if the windows are up. Must~release~the pressure!!!! LOL

 

Mine faces the trunk, and i fold down the armrest ( I have an evo) and it is like a super port from heaven! Point it towards the rear!!!!

 

Well it's a vented box and facing the trunk lid with the seats down is the loudest...

 

^Sealed here... So maybe that could be the difference?

BTW, running 2 12" Polk Momo SVCs here.

 

yea its sounds like with mine facing the interior they suck in too much air or something...and bottom out

 

I had my two 12's facing the rear seat completley blocked off from the trunk.

 

Before the strut bars, and my custom designed boxes/amp racks I had a huge sealed box that took most of the trunk. Firing into the cabin sounded best, and with the current setup, folding down the seats gives me the added in-cabin "volume".
