[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7398343, member: 576029"] your answer is in these two posts. you will have cancellation regardless, but it will be minimized if all are facing up. up and back will cancel and be a waste. you could also place them on their side facing toward each other - with a few inches in between. this could rock. four subs in too small of airspace won't perform as well as two in proper airspace. your best bet is to remove your rear seat and build a box for all four there - all facing forward or up. otherwise, go with two. FYI - subs facing back don't sound the best - they are boomy and inaccurate. it is usually louder at some frequencies due to phase interference (constructive) that occurs where most music puts bass. but you get cancellation that is unnatural. forward without a baffle has cancellation in the common bass frequencies. forward with a baffle sealing off the trunk is SQ performance.
