Subs

[CB7 EX]

Ok so i have 2 rockford P3's i wanna install in my accord in a sealed box. what would be the best way to face the subs for the best sound. thanks for any help.

I would think you want to face the speakers towards the front of the car, leaving some space between the face of the speaker and the back of the rear seat.

Best thing to do would be to listen to them in different positions and see (rather hear) which direction they sound better at.

It depends on what kind of music....

I have had subs in my car since I was in high school. And I know that all installers say that the should face away from you so you get all of the bass sound. But if your going to listen to heavy metal, rock, punk or anything thats not techno or rap. I say face it forward. I also drive around mostly with my rear seat down so I get that extra ummpfff from my subs. But back in the high school days when I mostly listened to rap, I had them face to the back of the car and I think that carried the lower bass tones better. IMO

Face them towards the rear and put the seat down

Face them towards the back,I have two American bass dx 12s pushed by a AmericanBass 80.1 vhl spl series amp,with the back seat up I just hit a 150.6dbs on the meter. We are tuning the amp and crossover trying to get 152+ out of it.

DDAAAAAMMMMNNNNN!! thats a nice reading. and yes, face towards the back. if you're going for dbs its been proven that it carries better facing back.

[jcoleman_11]

[doughboy415]

1,500, next time I go to shop for tune session I'll video it, the trunk is trying to come off,lol. I've to get a bigger alternator now, and another battery or batcap,we had to run a 180amp fuse off the battey for that 80.1 amp. when car is off two bass drops is all I get before it shuts down,I have to keep car running.
