To a certain extent that is true but diff types of woofers, positions and acoustical properties of a car can have an effect on this. Also everyone's ears are different as well as musical tastes so it basically comes down to tuning your system for your ear and the car itself.

Gonna look good.
My bass always sounded better when I had subs facing towards the rear instead of facing towards the front. Perhaps it was because my plastic panels behind the rear seats rattled and made noise though.
As of yesterday though, my sub fires towards the passenger side of the car, and it sounds great. I'll have some pictures up later today.

The enclosure is just under .5 cubic feet. It's predominately MDF, held together with a few screws and fiberglass on all of the seams. It bolts into factory holes, has a small footprint, allows access to the spare tire and jack, looks decent, and sounds great.
It only took me about 6-8 hours, so it's by no means perfect, but I'm pretty happy with it.

I was thinking of doing pretty much the same setup but I will have one on each side. Do you still happend to have the plans you drew out or some specs on the box?

Nope...I didn't draw any plans or have any specs to follow as I was doing it. I cut the bottom piece, then the front and rear, screwed them together, then calculated approximately what size I'd need the sides to be to accommodate my airspace, then cut those sides and screwed them on. Then I sealed all the seams with several layers of fiberglass cloth with the top still off to make it easier. Then I made the top piece, screwed that on, and sealed those seams from the hole for the sub. Then I cut the hole for the speaker terminal piece and screwed that in, then carpeted everything, filled the box with poly-fill, and bolted in the sub and it was done.
I did model parts of the box using cardboard at various stages. That worked out well.
