You shouldnt just "port" a sealed enclosure, have a new one made or make one yourself. And what do you mean its firing towards the back doors? Where is this mounted and what vehicle?

I've had my best results with the speakers firing back, like you said...about a foot and a half from the doors.

A ported box will be night and day from what you have now. I would reccomend it...

The output will be far greater, and if done correctly, you can maintain good SQ as well.
