Facing away from the cabin towards trunk with back seats down is best I think, but everyone has a different set up and car so just mess with it until you like how it sounds
I had a 2015 civic with the rear arm rest whole cut down . That whole made the whole car sound like I was running 2000 watts to it. 1500 rms woofer box rise and voltage drop 1500 rms amp . I was only pushing about 900 watts to it . Shit was flexing the whole car .
My car is bigger 1 15' subwoofer box towards the trunk and it vibrates my trunk doors and mirrors and I changed my guages to 4 guages and it pounds. I may turn it around and try it towards me now.
Everybody know that your subs face towards the bumper and Not facing the backseat...Been like that for years...Good video...Always face subs towards trunk or towards the back bumper....For a car or for a car with a hatch or even for your SUV..
Hey man you should do tutorial on uninstalling/reinstalling a amp with multiple batteries ... And how to connect the power wire back to the batteries & amps. I really need to get to my spare tire asap, dont wanna mess up any equipment
Facing forward is louder long as it’s sealed off from the trunk. It’s a trunk wall at that point. Firing towards the trunk is louder otherwise because it loads off the trunk.
It's a long proven fact you gain almost a full 3 decibels by facing your subs towards the rear of the vehicle. If you have proper sound deadening it is amazing. Also most of my systems rattle the car no matter which way they face!!
If your is a ford S197 Mustang mines a 07 definitely facing back seat. Bass is slim in drop basically a wall for the top to fold into. But in my blazer & other vehicles it definitely sounds better facing trunk or hatch
What about a coupe? I have 3 12s and I also have 1 12 as well! For some reason I get better bass out the one speaker than I do the 3 speakers. I use the same amp with same settings
I like my bass to sound like bass no trunk rattles. Facing the sub towards the cabin and with a back seats or seat down lets the subs breathe and lets the air travel more. The Florida guys make holes in their back seats to let the bass breathe. It dont matter if you have 15s or 18s if the trunk aint have a place to let the sub unload the air all you going to get outside is rattling trunk ,, to my ears that aint it. But yall do what yall want.
Facing it forward just makes sense to me. Have all the sound going forward to where you're at unless you just want to show off how much your trunk shakes haha.
This is really a simple concept. If you want sound quality then face them forward. However you must seal the trunk off from the cabin in order to get forward facing subs to sound good. This also eliminates 90% of trunk rattle allowing you to dampen the other 10%. The other way is to face them backward an yes loading the bass wave off of a surface (Back of the trunk) will extend the bass wave but you also have to worry about cancellation due to out of phase bass waves. Also when facing the subs backwards it will be almost impossible to eliminate all the trunk rattle so when you pull up at a stop light all people are going to hear is a rattle trap. Having been in this hobby for 30 years now I can say this. Outside of people who do SPL competitions with a vehicle devoted to just that most people who go ported and facing back are just trying to annoy people and they don't care what the system sounds like as long as at the end of the day some one can hear them bumping from a quarter mile away. I am sure some people will disagree and that is fine but I am just noting my observations over the last 30 years. I mean if you look at a ported setup alone you know this because anything below the tuning of the box is gone due to roll off. The best setup in my opinion is front facing (Trunk sealed, this is important) and in a sealed enclosure so you hear every frequency that is played.
@Meech Jones The classic way is to have speaker & port facing trunk (taillights). But for my needs. I needed trunk space & didn't wanted my sub being damage by having things in the trunk. I always belive the port facing rear would work best since I can drop my seats for having more bass flowing in & for SUV's port facing driver or up since its all open from the back. Best to check others with the same car & you & check their system out. See what works best for you.
@@mralbertramirez2275 cool story bro. I didn't build my system for other people. Idgaf what they hear. The subs are definitely louder that way and I hear no rattle what so ever. Like I said, I built my system for ME, not other people.
@@diegoduran8435 It does hit harder and my systems always sounded clean, I speak from experience. Your shit sounds like trash. I blew my back window out my 79 cutlass back in the 90s with some comp kickers and autotech amps, so gtfoh with your worthless opinions!
When quantity comes over quality… Guys like you doesn’t care how its sounds and how it’s looks, the only factor is volume. Your ear cannot hear anything clearly at that loudness, but if this shakes mirrors and whole car body that’s cool. Even if all setup looks like the treasure chest dug out of sand in pirate island😂😂😂
It’s two completely different preferences that can’t really be compared. His build is clearly geared towards SPL not SQ. When you go to a show you rarely ever see guys with big spl builds as clean as sound quality builds. We want loud and loud ain’t always pretty lol
You always face bass towards the backseats if they were mids an highs I would face them away from the back seats…….the reason u don’t put bass towards the 💡 it will start to dim your back lights
Battery is good. Still using it. I think my biggest problem back then was I had my gain set to high. -10 overlap was to much, i was clipping the amp causing the voltage to drop hard on stock alternator.
@@clippingcoils8215 also when I said tanked I didnt mean the battery was unusable or destroyed. I meant it looked low on charge. my voltage falls when my agm gets too close to its reserve. I had to buy an agm charger cuz I don't have an alt either.
@@clippingcoils8215 if you're going for sound its because youre hearing it. But the science behind it is the less distance the sound waves travel the louder it is. Since youre facing forward into the wide open air your losing "loudness"
I got two boss 12" phantoms with a boss 3000 watt amp down to one ohm I have them interverted pointing toward the trunk and it sounds awesome. Could never get any good sound pointing toward the front
I been bang down the block since 87. I have faced my woofer forward, upward and to the rear. They always sounded best facing the rear. No if ands or buts about it.
Flip that box up having the speakers facing up it will hit 10x harder...done this in my Tahoe and dodge ram 1500 and have pissed off these lil boys that have 4+ speakers and they can't beat two 12s or my two 15s audio pipes they in Q bomb boxes. Will say this having speakers in the trunk of cars doesn't sound all good unless you put them in the back seat you will tell a big difference
Trust in Jesus alone for your salvation not religion not man and repent of your sins to God not to no priest and you will have eternal life at the resurrection. This is not “my truth” it’s THE TRUTH there is no such thing as individual truths, spread the message :)
Facing forward is better for cars, for SUVs facing backwards or upwards is the best
Glad you made this video. Been curious about this
Great intro tune...that's an automatic thumbs up 👍
Sounds great 👍🏾
clipping coils is one of the best user names ever.....good discussions thanks for the topic
It's slaps better bass facing sub to the boot and thats not rocket science
Wave is longer and definitely better
Facing away from the cabin towards trunk with back seats down is best I think, but everyone has a different set up and car so just mess with it until you like how it sounds
I think so too mine sounds good that way
yeah i have mine the same way sounds good
Yes sounds good
Sameee
Thanks for the video I'm going to switch my speaker box around
Kicks ass that way bro

Towards the trunk ftw

Would that be for the same if it's a convertible?
@@justmejm convertibles are tough to get sound in either way. Usually the top when down blocks most of the sound from the trunk.
Hey what's that song at the beginning of the video
Less rattle is great

🇺🇸🌱HELL YEAH!🍃

Now if you were to seal off the trunk with them facing forward 👌🏻
At this point with that much power does it really even matter
Honestly lmaoo
Yes
He doesn’t have that much power
You got a point. Still face them backwards for maximum gorilla in the truck effectiveness
@@cavitycreep
lol
I always had people suggest changing directions and anytime I do I hate it. No longer listen. I have it how I like it.
Subwoofers facing up in hatch back is good ??

Yes. We saw the MB enclosure video. No need to paraphrase
Where did you get the brackets to mount your amps on top of each other?
I made them. They are plywood, cut and glued into squares.
Yeah
Facing it forward just makes sense to me. Have all the sound going forward to where you're at unless you just want to show off how much your trunk shakes haha.
Its louder when subs have a loading wall which is why you face them towards the trunk
@@millerclaytond28 according to every video I’ve seen that’s not true. They use the actual meters so it’s not opinion based
They're woofers, if you want them to hit face them backwards!

Facing them toward the trunk makes that rattling sound nasty asf. People might think it's cool, but trust me, it's trash
I got my sub facing up & port facing trunk. Less Rattle for me & I notice deeper cleaner bass compared to having sub & port facing trunk.

Yeah I think for trucks facing up is better for small cars or just any car or small suv you should face back!
Crutchfield made a video on this with dB tester. The loudest was the sub facing out the trunk and close to the lid.
instablaster...
Facing them out causes too much rattle and sounds nasty asf. People think it sounds great when all you hear outside the car rattling.
@@mralbertramirez2275 cool story bro. I didn't build my system for other people. Idgaf what they hear. The subs are definitely louder that way and I hear no rattle what so ever. Like I said, I built my system for ME, not other people.
@@mralbertramirez2275 what about putting the subs in the back seat 🤔
@@NoPainNoGain___ you can also do that
Music with a lot of bass, like rap, face to the rear, if you listen to rock, etc face it forward, it gives a better Snap to the bass.
Confused on how people get so much air flow with only 1200w systems… I have 3600w and 3 speakers and I don’t flow this much air
It's all in the box. Have someone reputable design a ported enclosure.
Ah the age old question
"DJ. Testicles"?!?🤭🤭...JK!
For louder you need to test it with a decimal gauge.its clipping and really just a bunch of vibration. That is not sound quality. its metal vibration.
Backwards always hits harder
Pauseee
You think it hits harder witch it dosent it sounds louder cuz of the rattle but bass isent clean
@@diegoduran8435 It does hit harder and my systems always sounded clean, I speak from experience. Your shit sounds like trash. I blew my back window out my 79 cutlass back in the 90s with some comp kickers and autotech amps, so gtfoh with your worthless opinions!
What subs and amp do you have
Nvx vcw 12s on a Skar rp 1500.1d
Clipping Coils how much did u pay for the subs and amp and them to make the box and set it up and everything bro?
@@Okogg watch my channel. I built the box and set up everything.
Try facing the box long ways on the side of the trunk I think it hits hard that way
My 05 impala slapped that way.. with the little seat down.. a mini blow thru!!!
U mean sit it side ways in the trunk facing the other side.Dude if u put it in a 15 degree angle it freaking unloads man. 😀

Fyi a head unit at that volume will be putting out clipped signal.
Most but not mine. Tested with an oscilloscope.
@@clippingcoils8215 all amps clip even that one.
What song was that?
I mention the name in the video. ✌
@trucker 9000 bruh I cant even understand what he said the song was
Push the speakers all the way back to the trunk.
So facing front or back?
Forward. I think it sounded better and hit slightly harder. Never got this setup back on the meter to be 100%.
depends on the box tune and the shape of the rear of the car TBH. try both ways.
damn that voltage drop tho
that battery is tanked running voltage is 13.9
Battery is good. Still using it. I think my biggest problem back then was I had my gain set to high. -10 overlap was to much, i was clipping the amp causing the voltage to drop hard on stock alternator.
@@clippingcoils8215 yeah that'll do it. can't hear distortion on videos. doesn't explain the low running voltage though. you ever figure that out?
@@clippingcoils8215 also when I said tanked I didnt mean the battery was unusable or destroyed. I meant it looked low on charge. my voltage falls when my agm gets too close to its reserve. I had to buy an agm charger cuz I don't have an alt either.
I would have recorded that late summer. Car would have been hot probably. Would have charged at a lower voltage.

Put some sound deadening on the trunk, and buy a plastic license plate cover so your trunk isn't rattling like a fkn door stopper
