Subwoofer placement & direction?

mSaLL150 · 06-08-2008, 05:32 PM

I have a quick question about direction of the drivers. I plan to put 2 of the new BMs under the backseat of my 2004 F150. My question is, should i mount them firing up or firing down? My current 10" subwoofer is firing down and it sounds fine, but ive seen it done both ways. Ive heard its better to do downfiring because it can create a "loading effect" throughout the cab or something, but that might have been some guy shoveling some BS.

What do you guys think?
