[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 8863515, member: 611804"] Let me just say a few things. 1. A sub doesn't care what direction it is facing. The only reason you don't want to face sub down in an upfire box is because typically the sub would be hitting the floor. 2. This is not considered infinite baffle. Or even trunk baffle 3. Down firing subs take advantage of the loading effect of the floor. Assuming the rear of the seats is rigid enough mounting them pointed at the seats could accomplish the same thing. 4. The same reason you might want to down fire them is the same reason you might not want to. Subs can load off of most anything and most commonly you will get the most output when the sub is in a corner facing rear ward. This gives a corner loading surface and a front loading surface to reflect the sound towards the front. This isn't end all be all and every vehicle is different. End of the day I don't really see an issue with your plan other than mounting the amp on the same surface since the flexing seat back has a possibility to dislodge components inside the amp. Most of the time it doesn't matter though [/QUOTE]
