[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 488586, member: 550915"] If the subs are going to be firing in a direction where they have no path to the interior of the car you are going to lose the majority of your output anyway. The vast majority of the output of the sub system comes from the sub itself and only around resonance is the port contributing significantly. You want the port and the sub firing in the same direction unless you are going to corner load one or the other and have accounted for the corner loading. Firing the sub and port toward the rear of the car will mask any port noise that might be present, as Jmac said. You should figure out some way to vent the bass into the interior. In my system that way is through the rear deck through the rear speaker cutouts. [/QUOTE]
