Hey guys I'm about 50% through making a new box for my 2005 magnum rt and need some suggestions on either to have the sub face in or out, view pics below of the ongoing project to get a good idea...

Thanks

Well seeing how it looks like the box is too small already....id say face it outwards to get some more space inside.... but im no expert.

Interesting design. I think it will only work the way you have it already. IMO

yes it really depends on the woofer and the enclosure. You need to know the min recommended air space for that subwoofer and see where yours is at. Also of you invert the sub you need to wire the polarity backwards unless your head unit has a reverse option in the subwoofer settings!

Thanks guys for the reply.....i do have new photos of the inside and the sub does fit inside of it. also the enclosure is open behind the amp so there is extra air flow behind aswell.... Thanks for the tip about switching the wire polarity I didn't know about that

I would suggest reverse mounting. Your usable airspace will be significantly reduced if you mount it traditional. From the looks of it I am guessing you have some fleece strecthing to do?
The reason being you need to reverse the polarity is because who the woofer works. On a traditional mount the normal travel (excursion of the cone) is to push out. Yes, the cone does travel in also. But to get the same affect, you must invert the polarity in order to have the proper excursion. Also, if you do a reverse mount on the subs, make sure your speaker ring has enough clearance so that your surround on the cone does not hit it. GL, Waiting on pics of finished product.
