    down or front firing subs? what's better? what's the difference?

    This might be too general of a question, but what kind of subs are better? Down or front firing? I've always had the impression that down firing is better... but then I really don't know WHY, if it is, that is. Can anyone explain the difference to me? Also, how is the energy exls-10? It's a...
