[QUOTE="IDSkoT, post: 5589880, member: 584344"] ... no. It will be different as per car, and per listener. The general rule is to let the port go no closer than 1/2 the port width to whatever it's facing. However, you can get a louder response by altering that distance and, basically, extending the port. But, many people have gotten a greater response by facing the port toward the side. If you face it toward the passenger side, the drivers side will get louder, as vice versa. (By louder, I mean TEH DBZ WILL INCREASE. It by no way means that it will be audibly louder.) I personally like subs forward firing into the cab, port through rear deck, and the trunk sealed from the cab, so it minimizes the space that the subs have to pressurize, and basically making your car a direct 4th order BP and putting YOU in the chamber. It makes me giddy.
