Re: under seat sub box up or down

It mostly depends on the style of music you listen to. If you primarily listen to rock, country, etc. then you should face them upwards for smooth response. If you are looking for hard hitting bass for R&B, Pop, etc. then the down firing position will be best. If you aim them upwards be sure to protect the speakers with grill plates, or your rear may bust them. If you choose to go with the down firing position the box should have 2” of clearance towards the rear and 2 ¾" at the front. The angle will result in better sound due to the fact that bass has a sound pattern that disperses across surfaces flat, so the angle will provide more efficient reflection. You will need to invest in sound deading material for your cab and doors for the best sound.
