Really depends... just mount them each way and drive around for a bit and test them out. I had some subs in my ranger... faced them backwards and they sounded better... where as my original sub I had facing forward. Really depends on the box in my opinion.

 

You get most of the sound from the voice coil at the back of the sub... whereas your reverberation (sp?) comes from the cone itself. The box affects both. If the box's material is thin... then you'll get more of the sound from the voice coil than if it was thicker.

 

Ported boxes, band pass, and sealed all have factors as well.

Ported = increased air flow inside of box... deeper bass sound, less hit and crispness

Band pass = pressure added to both sides of woofer... crispest bass, hardest hit, lighter tone

Sealed = pressure to back side of woofer... crisp bass, hard hit, good tone.

SOunds just about right, I would face them to the wall...You will get more bass out of them. What type of tens are you running and what Type of amp? Im currently running three 12" alphasoniks and a 3000 watt amp on the bass and a 1000 on the voice.

I had 4 10" W6's in the cab of my F150 firing downward and it hit hard. I also ran 6 10's downward in my Toyota and it hit even harder. The ones in the toyota were Kickers and in the Ford were JL Audio. Both boxes were sealed. If you cant mount them firing down then mount them facing forward but take the back of the seat off. That way it gives them a little more air room. No matter what you do you cant win any DB drags in a standard cab pickup there just isnt enough air room. Good Luck

dont face them toward the back!!thats a bad thing cus it will rattle annoyingly. face them foward or if you have enough space put them under the seat facing up or down. doesnt really matter but if you face them down they will possibly rattle the cab which will end up further costing you money to buy dyna mat which is like sound wave absorbant and will mostly stop any rattles.

I would put some sound dampening material on the back wall of the cab if I were

you. I have heard that the cone should be at least half the diameter away from

any reflective surface (5" for a 10sub). The seat back is not really reflective

but the rear of the cab is somewhat. A sound check is in order in both directions

because it is subjective to a lot of variables. Stripping the interior and dampening every surface with spray on and stick on dampening materials is money and time well spent. When properly done, the sound quality that can be achieved far surpasses that of the same system in a non-dampened vehicle.

ive never heard that before, but it makes a ton of sense. i have heard in ported boxes you need to be at least the port's width from the nearest object though.
