Silver Member Username: AraknidBOCA , FL U.S. Post Number: 986 Registered: Nov-04 | Theres only one way to do it and thats to have the magnet in the terminal area because if you mounted them with the magnet facing out into the viewing area you won't be able to get the wires to them. |

Bronze Member Username: 02gsxrPost Number: 49 Registered: Jul-05 | With a bandpass box like yours, it really does not matter. The only place sound is coming from is your ports, therefore facing it forward or back will not change where the sound is coming from. The only time it matters (usually) is when you have a ported or sealed box which affects the phase and wavelength. If the ports come out of the top, don't worry. If they are coming out of the front or back - face them toward the back of the car. |

Silver Member Username: HurleyblinkPost Number: 123 Registered: Mar-05 | you face the speakers with mag in port area dont do it the other way, its going to sound like sh*t anyways because its a bandpass box not to mention a chep one that isnt tuned specifically, either way you do it it will sound the same ive had a box like that when i first started and it was horrible, if i were you id go with a sealed or ported, what kind of subs do u have? P.s. if you run the wires through the holes like in the pic u posted, it WILL ruin the surrounds of the subs. |
