[QUOTE="Travis Munday, post: 804722, member: 52914"] Pretty much the only reason to have subs mounted in the above fashion is for looks alone. Both of those are pictures of show trucks, and you'll almost always find subs mounted like that in show-type vehicles. The reason is simple, get those subs out in the open so everyone can see them. A much less common reason, but still viable, is that there isn't space anywhere else for the size of sub you want to run. Sound wise, they aren't really any different then other places. Subs do not need to be pointed in any specific direction in order to present a solid base for a sound stage. Subs produce a non-directional sound and can pretty much be placed anywhere in the cabin pointed in any direction and you'll get the same effect no matter what the combination. In a few mounting locations you'll get a slight muffling of sound, or increased rattles from sympathetic/direct vibrations, but for the most part, it doesn't really matter. In summary, do what you want with your subs, but console mounting isn't going to improve sound any. [/QUOTE]
