Hang on a second here. In the top picture I see two bone crushing subs aimed directly at a baby seat. NICE!!!!

There's nothing wrong with it
I just thought it should be pointed out. It's like when you take your class picture and one kid is giving the finger.

Try them all out on a couple of different songs. 8/10 systems i've ever put in sound best with rear firing subs, as long as the subs are placed cone out of the box (most common). If you understand how a subwoofer works, that the thump has no to do with the cone being pulled backwords then rear firing makes sense because the vibration is actually being sent towards you. By the way how did you do your floor like that?

I decided to aim all 3 subs towards the back in sealed boxes about 1.25 cu/ft each...
drperry...nice lullaby!
blazinloud...I am running a Alpine MRV-F450 V-12 5-channel amplifier and adding a MRD-M300 mono for the the 3rd sub...I always liked the Alpine amps.
Canadian88...As far as the car seat is concerned, I am the "back-up" vehicle to carry the baby, we use my wife's car mostly with the kids...LOL
nai0013...for the floor, I just cut a 1/4" sheet of MDF to desired shape, glued it to my false floor and laid carpet over it!

sealed box, firing back to the hatch is the best set up. for a ported box, firing up and port facing back hatch for best sound and subs are less likely to be damaged when firing up
