Extended Cab Trucks

Whats the best placement for a box in an extended cab/4 door truck for loud goodness to the ear?

Said position would have seat removed so box would be sitting on the floor.

Ex:

Passenger side, Sub Up, port forwards.

Drivers Side, Sub Forward, port up,

Center, sub up, port up.

etc.

What do you recommend?

port up, subs forward i always like in my S15, so i hear subs down sounds good too

I haven't tested all the combination's yet, but I'd stay away from sub up.

I like the sub up port out the side loading off the door. Ive tried sub forward port forward, and sub down port side. I like the first one the best.

So majority so far say sub forward, port up. Any body found different results with different positions (Passenger side, Center, or Driver side)?

subs firing towards each other in a wedge with a slot port on the bottom behind each seat. with about 1.5-2.3cf per sub. you will get mid 150s-low160s with about 1500-2000w per sub.

i've had port/sub up and port/sub forwards, I think sub/port up was louder in my 97 silverado.

I've had them in my king cab facing up, facing back and facing front, so far facing front sounds louded. Might sound dumb but my way of testing it is parking the truck in the driveway and then I go inside the house and see how it sounds from their.

I want to know whats the loudest from the front seat, not from in the house.

This works pretty good. I'm sure the noobs will try to bash me for it, but I've done the testing.

Lakota, that's pretty decent. What size is that box?
