We all know that with midrange speakers and tweeters it is important to face them in the right direction and locate them in spots in our car audio system that allow us to achieve optimal sound quality. But why can the subwoofer be aimed the other direction? Why can it be basically anywhere in the vehicle? In this video I explain how we hear and locate sounds and why we can place our subwoofer box in different locations.

Thanks for making videos like this. So unbelievably helpful!

@logiticalresponse9574 3 года назад

@@noahon2k906 the wave length of "bass" are longer allowing it to penetrate obstacles with less loss of energy . High frequencies are much shorter allowing said obstacle to absorb and reflect better which is why when u hear an echo it sounds different, cause the lower mid range and down are not reflecting as much . Knocking refrigerators over when u come banging down the road requires a s%!+ ton of air movement , which requires many watts and many drivers

@herculesbrofister265 3 года назад

Actually it's because most cars with aftermarket stereos simply don't have mids and highs. I hear it all the time on my walks around town,a car will drive by 10 or 15 feet away from me, windows down, and all i hear is "thump....thump thump thump."

Years ago I had a 1990 Grand Am with an ADS sub with 2 10’s(sealed). I had worked for many hours tuning the crossovers and levels to get a balanced sound and I had to face the box down and backwards (swivel brackets included). When I sold the car to a teenager he immediately pulled out the 2 10’s and dropped in a Pioneer ported box with 3 12’s facing forward. It took him a couple of hours of frustration to give up and put he ADS box back in and suck up the loss of ego by having 2 10’s instead of 3 12’s. He was in disbelief that I got such a “small box” to sound that good. Interestingly we listened to vastly different music........

@shivasinn 2 года назад

I had my 10inch Kicker sub located in the boot facing the boot door. I was not so happy with the depth of the bass. So, I made two changes. One to stuff the port with tight faom to covert it to a sealed box and secondly, moved it to one side of the boot, facing side ways towards the innerside of the boot, rather than facing the back of the car. With these two changes, the bass feels lot more deep and cleaner. Not sure if it due to the sealing or due to the change in direction of the sub or both. Eitherway, happy with the result.

@noahkb80 3 года назад

I've got a pretty basic setup. A couple skar vd 10s shallow mounts in a downfire box with port forward on a 1200w amp. JbL 3 ohm mids & highs running off pioneer deck. Honestly it's pretty dang impressive for what it is. It'll rattle your teeth loose. Well , I had my back seats up and my box isn't bolted down( shame on me) and my box slid forward just like 2 inches , and I haven't had a chance to really get back there and recreate that situation because I had to shove it back because I started getting a really odd distortion that I think was the sub actually hitting the floor cuz it had slid over a hump in the floor. But before that, OOOOO MAAA GAWD! I don't know what was truly happening but I've never heard it hit so hard. My whole truck I thought was going to fall apart from the vibrations. No lie, it sounded like I had something like 4 12s in some massive box. I'm gonna try to recreate it. Part of me thinks that maybe some sort of phenomenon happened due to wires being pulled around and stuff getting tugged on from box moving, and I wouldn't think that minor of a move and basically not changing the angle at all, would make such a drastic change. It really was incredible. I've been running systems for 20 years and I never seen anything like it.

@daggerkettenring 3 года назад

As long as your box is tuned to the resonance frequency of your vehicle, you should hear the bass all around you. If it's a generic box, you are going to hear the source location of the box. Bass is more omnidirectional than directional. The lower you go, the less you hear and the more you feel. That "feeling" is non locatable. In my 07 Avalanche, I took out the midgate and filled the vertical space with the height of my sealed box with two 10 in subs facing forward. 1800 watt system that pounds so hard that I have to crack the windows so I don't vibrate the windshield too much (had to replace it once already).

It's also a matter of wave length. Subs as you say have a longer wavelength and will sound better/accurate at the end of that wavelength.

Short answer, no it dosnt matter. Sub frequencies are omi direction and the delay....."itd" or what ever he calls it can be adjusted on most headunits. The feature is called.. delay.

Then how come at home you don't face the speakers towards the wall?? 🤔. They face forward. I run mine facing forward, sounds cleaner in a hatchback too.

Sub is facing rear... Non ported 10in 1000w sub with a 1200w amp in a Santa Fe with the stock monsoon amp powering stock speakers and deck.

Have mine facing forward. I’d like to think with them facing towards me, more of the bass goes inside the car but to be honest with all the boomin, I don’t think it really even matters which way they face.

@emilianomartinez4083 2 года назад

Not me looking at the tiny speaker on my phone and understanding how I know that I'm looking at the place the sound is coming from and how my brain is doing it, but this time with more of an understanding of the way it works. This video was extremely informative!! Thank you so much!! I'm doing my first subwoofer and amp install for my car this week and was trying to decide placement in my car for the sub and I think you've helped me make a way more informed decision!!

I’ve got 2 12” subs facing towards the inside of my car through my trunk and it seems to have a lot more sound than if I were to have it resting up or towards the trunk lid

Tried to update the firmware on mine but Apple decided mine are a Clone so I won't get the transparency in my hearing c:

Mine faces outwards I didn't think it would get enough ventilation facing the back of my seats?

@alexandermorrison8453 7 месяцев назад

Just looking if I should have my 2 10” sub in my forester facing me or the back

@MHangman7678 Год назад

2 15 susing the whole backseat as airspace, but I think I need more power is still quiet or I'm deaf

I have my 2 alpine type x 12s firing towards my taillights, when I position them firing towards the front of my car it hits harder but not as punchy, keep in mind I only have a ski hole in my car the seats don't fold down, also moving them around changes the box rise , everything from moving your driver/ passenger seat changes the performance of your sub. Even a few bags of groceries in my trunk changes the performance.

@Jim.D 3 года назад

So when measuring the distances for the sub, how is it done? From the sub, through the seat to your body directly or is it from the woofer cone to your ears?

How do I work a sound ordnance amp on auto power - high power input setting ?

@tevinalexander3008 2 года назад

Can spl change by flipping the box so the port is now on top or the bottom? Everybody usually has their port to the right of the woofer why is that?

@bluecollarnobody4217 Год назад

Your being too technical have a nice day I paint cars and build hot rods for a living not send rockets to the moon

@TheRedskins2175 Год назад

Just make it simple up, down, forward or back. That's all most of us just want to know😤🤯

@timfagan816 3 года назад

I want a sub in my car, but I have a wagon (estate) is there any point? Never seen as sub in an estate, it's usually sedans, in the boot.

Those some new terms.. Maybe I'm too old now but back in the day they use to call that Doppler Effect.

@richiedarocket1359 3 года назад

I have 2 12s in a civic facing towards the back seat, I did this because the car would rattle too much any other way

@miguelsalgado4673 2 года назад

I've experienced in the past that facing them backwards may sound more affective if your not running much power let's say 750 RMS but I hate the trunk rattling, so I noticed facing them forward cancels that rattle but chokes out the base, until you fold tour seats down, I think my next choice would be a single sub to the right shooting left so I can feel or hear that frequency, any thoughts?

@MrPsiclone666 Год назад

lol hell yeah , I have a 12' champion pioneer powered by a jbl gto 751ez behind the front seat facing the back of my seat in a holden ute. you feel it kick and watch the front windscreen vibrate. I say go for it!
