Port aiming

[RayM]

Hello all. I am building a box for 2 10’s in my 97 accord and will be aiming the subs towards the rear. My question is should I aim my aero port towards the rear or cut through the rear deck and fire it towards the rear glass? Not try to do crazy spl just nice and loud.

Fire the port to the rear in a trunk car.

I've seen and heard your idea done live. It was a complete flop, even loss loud than sealed and sounds like complete sh*t. Why? Phase cancellation is why. Just stick to port and sub to the rear.

My driver and ports firing towards the cabin through a ski hole opening and sounds real nice.

You don't want you port and your subs to pressurize separate airspaces, you can get a lot of cancellation from the phase of the waves not matching up.  If you want to fire your port up against the rear glass in a trunk car, you need to fire your subs forward or do a bandpass.
