    looks sweet as, just a little hint from a previous wagon owner though, keep an eye on your locks and hinges that hold your rear seat upright.
    with a lot of bass they can get loose and wear quickly giving heaps of rattle. but seriously, looks like it was done in a shop. nice nice

    Very neat, but I would have faced the sub rearwards. Did you test which way sounded better before completing the install?

    Thanks guys, does facing the sub rearwards give much better performance?, I guess i was more after the visual appeal and didnt give that much thought.

    In a sedan it gives better performance, I never tested with my wagon though, I just faced it rearwards as that seems to be the best in sedans and hatches.

    Good job VN - damn fine!

    As most others have suggested though I reckon you're better aiming it backwards too, although never done a comparison in a wagon. Give it a go though, definitely. Might surprise ya!!

    damn, wish i thought of that sooner, ill try mounting it backwards but as you can see in the photos the sub box will not fit the other way around and i would have to get another one. If it sounds that much better than ill see if i can swap the box for another that will fit.
