which way do I face the subs?

Does anybody else have a bronco? if so which way did you face the sub or subs? and did you have much trouble with vibrations? I'm talking for two pioneer 10s rated at 500max and 250RMS I'm bulding two seperate boxes rights now, they are put together and I'm waiting to put the carpet on them so I can cut the holes for the subs and ports I just have to save a little $$$. I don't want to cut the wrong size for the subs and then have to make a whole new front for the boxes.

I have my 2 12" MTX subs facing the rear of my vehicle. I would suggest to try it both ways and see what you think, forwards and backwards, but I am thinking facing them to the rear will sound the best in your vehicle.

I ran 12's, and then 15's when I still had my Bronco. The bass was always the best when the subs were facing the rear.

Good Luck

For hatchbacks and suv-style vehicles, one of the best ways to go is to make a CRX-Style Box. This involves creating a ported box where the sub(s) fire(s) up and the port fires towards the tailgate/hatch.
