Ive never had a system in a hatchback before. DO my subs fire to the rear, forward or up?

Try them in all positions I find firing them backwards works nicely.

yeah. I was always a trunk guy and rear firing was best. Trying all different ways will be hard. Its gonna be mounted in an odd way......

Ported or sealed?

in my scion tc (a hatch) i have my single ported ten on the left side firing to the right. sounds best this way. i spend a whole night playing with different box positions and direction in my car and that way sounded the best.

i also had a different box a while back in this same car. had the sub and port both firing up and it sounded better than the sub and port firing directly to the rear, also a lot less rattling firing up.

If they fire forward ( Im even thinking about trying down ) then the box will be on a leg attached to the rear by the trunk latch about 12 inches off the floor. That way I still have t-top storage.

Being that I owned a hatchback when I got into this sport/hobby I found that subs and port firing upwards yeilded the loudest output.

For an SQL type of thing, subs back and ports up.

My two cents.

I would aim them toward the back or directly up! every hatchback I have heard subs in were that way and sounded great , I was always jealous of folks with hatchbacks

with my current sub and box i tried every way i could come up with and to the side works best with this setup.

Meh. I finished my box

Im not a fan of terminal cups but my sires arent here and I wanted it done.

looks good!

Looks sweet.......

Subs up......my .02

If it were ported......sub up port back ftw.
