Default DC2 teg: which way should sub aim?

i'm about to install a 12" Infinity 12.1 in a 1 cu ft. sealed box in my dc2. my question is which way should the subwoofer aim-towards the glass or towards the taillights? keep in mind that the sub will not be in the spare tire well. thanks

generally a subwoofer is omnidirectional. if you want to get technical i would take out the hatch cover and aim the sub up towards the hatch glass.

i dunno, but from what i read hatchbacks should fire towards the glass and sedans w/ trunks should fire towards the taillights. i guess i should just experiment with it.
