Has anyone ACTUALLY fooled around with sub/port placement?

[QUOTE="k_schutte, post: 8057584, member: 551817"] Should be an interesting thread. LOL I am wondering if anyone on here has ACTUALLY HAD FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE with sub/port orientation experimentation...? As in, no other variables except the direction in which the subs/port is facing... Wondering if anyone has come to their own conclusion as to what sub/port orientation is "best" in an SUV. I am going to be throwing a single 18" in my Blazer. I know the "general idea" is sub up, port back and like 4" from the rear hatch. That's what I did in my Durango with a BTL18, DDZ1, 7.25ft^3 @ 34hz via 3-6" aeros. managed a 150~ with that setup and I literally had glue oozing out and leaks frikkin everywhere cuz I built the box on the way to the show. LOL built an identical box and let it dry this time, ended up with a 153~ after only messing with the box positioning and of course having everything properly glued/sealed. I am thinking of trying something different this time though, like firing the port to the side. Not sure if I want sub up or sub rear but port to the side is something I'd like to do. I currently have a pair of RE S3X 10"s in 2.5ft^3 @ 34 with a single 6" aero firing to the drivers side and subs facing rear. Now, that setup was originally rear/rear and then I switched it to drviers/rear like it is now and it got WAY louder and just better sounding in general. Then, one step further, I left the drivers/rear orientation and slid the box all the way to the trunk lid in order to use it as a "loading wall" and it got even louder and better sounding again. I am wondering if this may be of any use in an SUV. I know a trunk car and an SUV are completely different monsters but... I "loaded" the port in my Cadillac and it was a huge improvement, I then "loaded" the subs as well and it was an equal improvement. [/QUOTE]
