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

I'm not whipping out my calculator... But everything seems to be in order... You've done your research i see. You ensured that your port tube goes farther back than the subwoofer so that it focuses your port-blast. Good man.

Also, using that fibery crap you find in pellows, you can get a 5% - 20% boost in nonexistant aero space. This is used when a box cannot fit where it needs to go, and size is reduced for fiture... it helps make a smaller box sound like it is bigger. (another trick of the trade, and not the proper way of doing it i'm sure, but i'm all about effectiveness. )

You can buy that stuff at the walmart fabric section. I think it's called stuffing or something... IDK.
