Best sub + port orientation for vehicle with fold down seats?

It's all about personal taste, in case you haven't noticed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
Try it out a few different ways and see which you like best.

Well... I have a specific design I had in mind that would fit my trunk, and I can design it several different ways to accomplish different port and sub placement. But "trying out a few different ways" would take forever. I'd rather not build several failures to find out which one I like best as you put it. I think what everyone likes the best is the one that gets the loudest? Isn't that the point of this website? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

I'm not trying to be an ******* (although alot of times I come off like it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif) but if I wanted to try several different boxes, I would have made them and skipped making this thread. I was hoping to have some responses as to what setups get the highest numbers in the car within a certain criteria I listed.

I'm guessing I'm gonna go for subs and ports forward facing into car. Unless anyone has proof or metered numbers to say subs up ports forward produces better numbers.

just a little FYI, all the cars at 08 dB world finals (except for one) had subs forward and port to the side. I had the same setup with a single 15" a couple of years ago. It's a good setup for head rest scores, too.
