Building a ported box, Need an opinion

[UCF_Knight24 10+ year member]

I'm getting ready to build a ported enclosure for my Kicker Comps. The box is going to be going into an extended cab Ford Ranger. Which do you think will sound best?

subs up and port up

or

subs up, port forward

Also do you think it will sound better tuned in the low or mid 30s?

i think most people do subs up port forward. its more of an issue of loudness for which side the port is on. (drivers vs passenger) hopefully someone that actually has experience with this will confirm or call me out lol.

I was thinking of doing subs up port forward. I was going to have the port on the passenger's side if I went that route. Right now I'm taking measurements to see what kind of room I have to work with and tinkering with a few other things.
