Right guys, I got my twin subwoofer in the boot and want to know which way to face it to get the best sound or doesn't it matter, at the moment I got the subs facing the boot, but my mate said it should be facing the rear seats as the sound will be kept in the car, so just want your opinion guys which way is better for the sub and sound, cheers guys look forward to your verdict lol

Facing the boot as you have it as it also uses the boot as a box which is what I have always believed |

The best placement for a sub-woofer is as you probably guessed, not the most practical. So a little trade-off is required. The most practical is to have it close to the back seats (the actual direction, 'in or out' is always a good pub debate) as this is an efficient use of space. ...but the best place is to have it facing the back of the car, close to the rear wall. This does, as mentioned make things difficult getting stuff in and out of your boot. If you're an audiophile, where you lob your shopping in the car isn't going to be at the top of your driving agenda. Here's an interesting video from some trusting chaps to explain what I wrote.

Or up, but that's no good if you are using 6X9's |

Most are designed to be upright, as they don't have to work against gravity. Laying a normal sub on it's back will lose quite a bit of it's 'oomph'  But I agree they will cause any large (I mean anything over 3"  parcel shelf speakers sound a little odd. |

The box the sub is in is the key. Also I wouldn't run any speakers on the parcel shelf if running subs. Been there done that blah blah Oh and a good amp and bin is key to good sound so none of that fli s**te |
