I know I get asked this alot but i do not know if i have the right answer. Subs in a hatch back. I am mounting them where my back seats go. Be fore i build the box what direction should they face. Ive tried towards the front and the back and i really dont notice a huge difference. Does anybody notice a difference wether they have them facing foward or towards the trunk.

1 15" R-F P-1 in the Hatch facing front - no rattles. Face it towards the back and it rattles like crazy. I find that facing the sub towards the back is better for coupes and cars that are shorter and therfore the sub is closer to the drivers head. My 15" is in a full size box and it's all the way to the rear of the hatch. Sounds perfect like that.
Just my .02.
