Has anyone ACTUALLY fooled around with sub/port placement?

[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8057699, member: 576029"] sub up and port back is done mostly because it is easier to fit since it allows for the smallest width and takes advantage of box height. sounds from the port has to travel a longer distance, which has an effect on what you hear. locating the ports near the floor also increases their contribution due to coherent reflections. subs up and port up behind the seat of a SUV is least liked because it has the worst cancellation. there is usually distance between the rear of the vehicle and the subs/port. this is not a fair evaluation and simply changing which direction the subs/port face will make a big difference. subs and port on the same face works great when properly located and loaded (corner or hatch loading). where you put the sub box is more important than what face the port on. moving the port will change what you hear, but you cannot make a generic statement as to which face was best without clarifying where the box was located in the vehicle. in the end, reflections and cancellation plague all sub installs. that is why walls work so well.
