Pointed forwards will have cancellation issues with the back of the trunk.

THIS IS WHY SUBS SHOULD FIRE DIRECTLY INTO THE CABIN.

Moving on...

Perhaps your mids and highs are clearer because your sub isn't as loud?

Also, you may have your sub crossover set too high. 50 Hz is the highest you can get without localization but 80 Hz is a decent compromise. If you have to run higher than that, you need a better midbass solution.

The problem with a mid speaker is that it doesn't typically do mid bass and mid range extremely well. You pick your poison. It's either great as a mid range + ok as mid-bass or vice versa.

Or a woofer for 200 Hz and below and one for 200 Hz through 2-3 KHz placed AS CLOSE as possible to one another.
