[QUOTE="obxsurfisher, post: 7837838, member: 643700"] Haha it is in fact a 87 Jeep Cherokee. Bear with me here please, being 18 and only have basic car audio knowledge some things are hard to understand. Now, you say it's better to have a tapered port facing down and have it open to the rear. Correct? Iv'e never built a box and my tools are limited so this seems difficult for a novice like myself. That being said, does the port have to open to the rear like that? I was planning on building a simple slot ported enclosure with either the port facing down on the same plane as the sub OR facing toward the rear of the Jeep. You say that I may not have extended low end if I face toward the rear though. Here's the million dollar question: Will having a regular slot port facing the floor sound like shat? Even if I make the legs on the enclosure like 3 1/2 or 4 inches off the floor? Or would having the port face toward the rear completely sound like shat? Thanks guys [/QUOTE]
