Is it better for the subs to face up or back in an SUV? This is what i think, correct me if im wrong.
Facing Up-I think this will be louder, but i will have to put a grille over it (for fear that somthing will be put on it) and that looks ugly.
Facing Back-Might not be as loud, will not need a grille, and looks damn cool with the back lift gate open :)
It varies from vehicle to vehicle. Just like everything else you've asked, there's no real answer. Just have to experiment yourself or talk to an SPL guy that has experience with your vehicle. As far as the Type S vs. Type R thing goes, the S's tend to meter well at higher notes...around 50+ hz i believe it is, where as the Type R peaks much lower...something in the 40hz area. As far as actually *sounding* louder, the Type R may be what you want, but if you're into competing the two Type S's would probably be your best bet, though there's no surety :)
