Optimal Sub Angle and Amp Size Options

[LastOfTheSTs]

Hey Guys,

I'm planning a 10" or 12" sub for the trunk just to round off my upgraded sound system - I was planning on probably making my own box for it and the amp but I was wondering, if there is indeed one, what is the best angle for the sub to be mounted at would be, i.e. straight up. straight back towards the end of the car, straight forward to the front or at a 45 degree angle... any thoughts?

Also does the box need to be any specific size in relation to the sub size beyond physically holding it?

Thanks for the advice

OK so some things to think about here, thanks for the advice.

I also need to consider what size AMP - the front and rear speakers are powered by a Sony head unit (4x50watt) and I have no plans to amp these, so I don't want to overpower them with bass. I listen to rock music and I'm looking to acheive a good sound definition rather than sheer volume.

Suggestions on amp size / sub size?

Also does it matter if the sub is not central in the boot - I was thinking about placing towards one side so I can at still put one seat down easily.

Thanks for the help guys!
