Can I run the speakers facing up ward instead of face the back of my truck, how would it sound

I have two sa 12's down firing in a box I custom built at 2.19 cu per sub with the ports meeting in the middle facing back. Powered by fosgate 1100a2. Its the loudest system I've heard out of a truck. It flexs my windows

You can run them however you want but different orientations will sound different as the sound waves bounce around at different areas. I would experiment with the orientation if possible to find what you like best. You'll probably only be able to fit one but as long as it has enough power (I run 1250watts RMS to each of mine) then it should have plenty of bass and still be crystal clear.

Its worth a try. Subs sound different in every car or truck so its tough to say what would sound best. Play the same 2 or 3 songs with the sub facing the back and then turned upward and see which sounds best to you

It depends on the given space within your truck. They're not built for a single cab truck which would usually call for a slim speaker box. In order to hook up two of these you would need to have two RCA outputs (i.e. from your head unit), unfortunately these only have built in inputs. So you would not be able to run one box off the other. Make sense?

Yes, your speakers will work. You will need to adjust the receiver for the lowest impedance load you will be driving and everything will be fine. The settings on this unit are: 4 ohms or greater / 6 ohms or greater, choose 4 ohms or greater and it will compensate for the loads

The simple answer is 'Yes'. There is some amount of tweaking that you can do, but be prepared to listen to it if you get too close. Some people build little sheet metal boxes around the backside to minimize it going off if you really want it to be fully directional... Mine sits behind a speaker box that shields it somewhat.

The shallow mount will most likely have a smaller magnet on the back for truck style boxes. A smaller magnet can make less bass regardless it's power handling capabilities. But you can fit it in really small boxes.

Robert--I am not sure what the back speakers look like...so far I have not had to replace the rear-door ones in my 2001 GMC Sierra C3, so I am not sure what you might need there.

I wouldn't recommend it. These are 2 way components. For a rear deck set up 6x8 or 6x9 3 way speakers are more ideal.

hello, i have seen reviews for these as replacement speakers for jeep sound bar,guess have to make sure they are not to deep to prevent you from mounting them flush.

For my truck, it had stock tweeters so all I had to do was mount them in the same holes. If you don't have stock tweeters, you may have to cut holes.

Same here, I have them as front speakers. Rear will probably do great as well.

That should work fine. If it was me I'd mount the speakers and xm unit to a board or in a box so it stays put in the work truck. Less tangled wires too.

Hey David ~ ive installed mine with the Pre-Concern that you had as well, no worries at all, it can be installed perfectly in any direction. nothing against your surround speakers. :D

Probably. I have it behind the rear seat of my 2004 Chevy Silverado 4 door crew cab. I did have to remove the factory jack and modify the air ducts but that was all pretty simple. It fits in there nice and secure with no rattles. I have a JL Audio 900 watt 3 channel HD amp pushing the box and all my Polk Audio mids and tweeters in my doors and it is crystal clear and kicks like a mule! Of course all my sound is inside the cab. So not sure how loud it will be being mounted in the trunck. But JL Audio has done a great job tuning this little beast to get the max bang for the dollar without sacrificing sound quality or decibles. Very content with my set up. Hope this helps. Probably.

You could, if you wanted, turn the speakers horizontally if the angle you want is too steep

Maybe not u need to look at the exact mounting depth your rear deck allows cause some 6x9 speakers are shallow mountable and these have a big bottom magnet that's why these are awesome sounding speakers.

It's a trade off. If you don't use your rear speakers you can use those for the ceiling speakers. At least that's the way it appears to me
