Default Subwoofer aiming...

I am completely redoing my system when the nicer weather comes around. Already have my boxes thought out and measured. I'll be going to 3 12" Audiobahns instead of 2 and adding one amp, cap, ground and power wires, bla, bla, bla...

I have my 2 12's right now aiming forward, hitting behind my rear seat, sounds pretty good...
In your opinions, should I aim my 3 12's towards the back of the Blazer? Would it make a big difference?
Could I aim 2 towards the back and one towards the front?
or all 3 towards the front?
What do you think would sound better?

i think aiming them toward the back will help ya more as far as a better quality of sound cause you'll have more aire to push with less in the way. my buddy has to 12" mtx subs and he has em pointing up and they smack hard as hell. i like his set up personally. and i know when i do my set up in the blazer the subs will be pointing up.

I've got sub and port facing back, and I'm liking the sound qualitly... it's louder with the sub facing up, but doesn't sound quite as good to my ears...

I'll be building sealed boxes, 2 are in sealed boxes already, adding a 3rd and rebuilding the whole box...don't like the sound of a ported box, personnal preference.

Then either have the subs facing up, or towards the hatch... I prefer facing the hatch, myself, much cleaner sound to it....
