Best place for sub to sit?

[XxCaryxX]

So i did my rear seat delete blah blah balh crap. Now my acoustics are fucked via the subwoofer.

Sorry for crappy, i dont own a camera and dont have any friends that live close. SO i took em with my gf's phone.

So, as far as acoustics go, what is best palce for sub to sit and sound at least halfway decent?

Btw, cheap Sony headunit and speakers from walmart but the sub is a Rockford Fosgate Punch Stage 1 in a RF punch box powered by a MTX 200 watt amp.

well i dont know about with a rear seat delete but when i redo my stereo im taking the rear decklid out and facing my 2 Type R 12's up towards the rear window.

if anything the acoustics should be better now, if i were you i would just put a ported box in the rear, or right behind the 2 front seats.

I have my 1 fozgate in a box (not ported) facing up against the glass pushed back as far as I can against the tail lights

Hmm, its ported. And sorry if pics didnt show up. Im fighting with it now >.<

i can build a computer from the ground up but once the internet is involved im a noob

Ok, so i got the back of the box against the taillights like Dave, but i have the sub facing the front of the car and it sounds MUCH better! Thanks everyone!

No homo...

Unless you want homo?!!?

J/k!

subs facing you will always sound better than subs hitting the back of your car.

turdat!

no side of the box hits the tails and the sub points to the glass

Facing up so u can see the sub like this

i know, i did the same but didnt put the box on its back and instead faced the sub toward the seats but i the same spot you put yours. Sounds MUCH better than it did behind my seat lol. Now if i could just figure out how to mount it. I guess the "L" brackets and some screws...

 

[hiimdavidchan]

so are there any advantages of the sub facing the rear or up? I have mine facing the rear right now but id have a little more piece of mind if I face it upwards since im always scared of the sub hitting the back and breaking while driving.

 

[SpooledupRacing]

well the idea is with the sub facing up the sound will bounce off the glass and resonate though the car which should give u a harder sound and beat. make the drive feel better

you realize that now since youve deleted the rear seats if you were to slam on your brakes or get in a frontal wreck the momentum will lanuch the sub forward and hit the passenger or driver, might not be the biggest thing you have to worry about but it is a concern....at least to me it would.
