Sub Position

I was just wondering if theyre are any downsides of subs facing up towards the rear deck...I have heard that you can get some sag over time is this true? I dont think it should make much of a difference in sound...

Face the sub towards the truck so when it hits it bounces off and back towards the car.

I havent seen anyone do this... But what about a suspended box? t triangular shape hung from the deck lid would put the sub aimed in a good position... Just a thought it would give you the most room possible.

I have seen that. It looks ok and sound fine. you could do a plexy glass cover and save all your trunk. Hope you dont get a flat )

true but cancellation is very imminent. ultimately it depends on if u want to sacrifice sound for space or whatever (the physical space is the same) facing back will be the loudest. up second and forward last. keep that in mind and if you do face them up dont blow them
