Ya i am planing to continuously build new boxes one after another each trying something new so i can see what works best in my truck and so i can get the experience in. I eventually want to wall it off but that is a bit down the road. i will take your advice for sure and maybe it will be my next box. i have had a lot of people tell me subs up port to the DS works well to. the big reason the box it designed the way it is right now though it i needed the space to put the amps but i wont have that problem as soon as it gets warm enough i am going to make a false floor in the back to mount them on to free up a lot of space. thx for the advice.

Yeah, all depends on what you have... and what you're going for...

Speakers, amps, daily, spl...

The best score I ever got out of my truck SPL wise was 152.3 legal with a single 15"...

This was in a small pressure box, with lots of power. Sub actually firing towards the rear wall, and 4 4" aero's firing to the side drive wall external ports... I swapped port length for different tuning for daily.

For daily ground pounding though, it's a tossup between that and sub&port up...

If you're trying to get the most space though, side firing port doesn't work //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif... so up is the next best thing. No real audible difference though.
