Which way is louder?
To have the woofers facing towards the front of the vehicle? or to be facing the trunk?
I'm talking about a small car. Not a hatchback.

Usually it will sound louder if the woofers are facing the back bumper of the car.

^^first post...not a hatchback!

my expeience has been louder facing the bumber, unless you can isolate the front/rear of the box and basically force all the sound intot he cabin..then it's a bout the same, but to me it's got a bit more impact facing th cabin. Try it every which way you can...it's free!!

well it has a trunk. Also, It's very hard to do because my box is so big i can't really just turn it around willingly, that's why i came here for opinions haha
