Would the bass hit harder if......?

Question

it faces towards the car seats or the trunk???

Answer 1

the sound that comes from a subwoofer is omnidirectional which implies there wouldnt be a percieved difference whether the woofer is firing towards the seats or away from them...from personal experience i've found no real difference, but some less rattling from the truck lid...but rattling all depends on the acoustics of your vehicle.

Answer 2

Its Not Really A Difference. It Basically Sounds The Same Except On Differnet Notes For Example I Played Jezzy-You Know What It Is With My Subs Facing The Trunk & On 1:01 Playing Time Its Hits A Loud Note. And Them I Had My Subs Facing The Backseat & On 1:01The Note Wasnt Loud As It Was Facing The Trunk.

P.S: On 1:01 The Note Goes Dum! Dum! Dum!!

Answer 3

are you saying if you turn ur box around? or leave the box, and turn around the subs?

if your head unit has a switch for Normal or Reverse subs then theres ur kicker. i had a dual bandwith box, the back of my subs had air, but the front was closed up. so i set it on reverse, and that worked just fine for me. reverse means that the subs suck in, instead of push out.

but if you ment just the way the box faces, they will be more mellow sounding and a little bit more vibrating if u face them to the trunk. but if you face them towards the car seats (assuming they will have open space in front of them) you can hear them better, and they can get more air that way, so they will be louder.

Answer 4

It should hit harder turned towards the trunk, but depend on many things - shape of your trunk, car, seats, speaker, materials, even actual frequency played! yes! it can hit harder towards the seats at 60Hz and it can be diferrent at 40Hz. If you use it for DBdrag or SPLdrag, you need to test it on your own. If you only play music for yourself, stop thinking about it. It is not gonna help you rapidly, maybe you will not notice the difference.

//edit

There are some theories and functional examples - low frequencies are fully effective only when the ear is at least one  wavelenght far from the speaker. It can be driven by some shape - horn speaker box, your car... It doesn't work in the way that you can hear something here and 20cm nearer nothing, but still works. You can hear it when you ar coming to the bass speaker from far place - The power of bass is increasing, but the lowest bass is decreasing. there are many more aspect affecting the output sound,so you can leave it or try to see/hear what happens when you do something.

Answer 5

turn the subwoofers towards the rear of the car the more corners the better...plus you'll get added bass from the trunk of the car ...it'll bounce off the trunk and come at you full blast
