So please tell us, what exactly were the dB/SPL differences at various frequencies, pointing up versus rear?

What did you get all those trophies for? The car looks pretty stock (aside from the audio obviously). Not trying to hate.

This setup must hit so hard.. It hurts my ears looking at it..

What type of amp(s) are you using to push it?

I have a 12w1 in my tC and it sounds MUCH better facing towards the glass (the way you have it now).. however, the glass roof & hatch vibrate alot more facing it that way..

You can't really hear the vibrations in the car but on the outside when you have the windows up, you can really hear some buzzing coming from the top of the hatch.
