In the Blue Corner: The Trunk. Without a doubt, the most popular placement for a car subwoofer is the trunk. Its the place where you most likely thought of housing your subwoofer when you first decided to invest in one. But just because something is popular, it doesnt mean its the best choice.

Where should a subwoofer be placed in car?

This is the most common direction used by the majority of custom car audio fanatics. By placing the subwoofer in the trunk against the last row of seats, facing away from the driver, the bass becomes more pronounced and evenly distributed across the cars surface area.

Should subwoofer face up?

Here is the short answer. For the best sound quality, the subwoofer should be placed with the speaker facing out to the room, and the port should be away from a wall. Bass waves travel in all directions, but its important to have the speaker facing your main listening area.
