    sub orientation

    ok i got a question for you. my subs face backwards, ie foward being the engine bay. now i'm worried that some of my stuff in the trunk will kill my subs. will rotating them 180 degrees affect the sound quality? like moving dead zones and altering the frequencies at which my cabin will resonate?

    yes changing how the subs are facing makes a difference on the sound. typically you lose 3 dB's in competition when you turn your box forward, unless it was designed to face forward if you can deal with a little hassle, face your box to the rear, about 6 inches from the back, and use the space forward of the box to store stuff you'll have to fold down the backseats when you need to get at any of it, but you won't have to worry about the subs getting damaged
    see if this makes sense to you

        you know what that actually makes sense to me. thanks, as of right now i think i am going to protect the subs and opt for the poor sound quality, because most of the **** in my trunk is pointy metal stuff. but i will do what you say eventually with the sub orientation towards the rear of the trunk. i am just going to swap my engine first.

          you could build you a ported box that has the sub facing the front of the car and has a port exiting the rear facing toward the rear of the car
