does the direction the sub is facing in a sealed box make a difference? my guess is no, but i've been wrong before...

depends on what you consider as difference? will the enclosure and subwoofer interaction change because you put the magnet end outside? Yes, because of increased air volume inside the inclosure.

will it make it louder? maybe...

im sorry i didn't make the question clear.

ok, on my 12'' ported box, i have port facing rear of trunk. you always hear people saying "port facing rear" or "port facing front"

would i be right in assuming that since there is no port on a sealed box, it wouldn't matter how the box was situated in the trunk?

Yes it will still make a difference because you'd ideally be using one of the corners of the trunk as a "loading wall" for the sound wave to reflect off of.....so yes it does matter where you angle it no matter what enclosure alignment you use.
