Details:

-1 15" FI BL in 3.5 cubic ft. box(3.5. after all disp.)

-Location is the trunk of a car(Buick Regal)

-Subwoofer will be facing the rear of the vehicle

-About 3 inches of space above the box

-About 3 inches of space on each side of the box

-And about a foot of space behind the box.

My question is: If You were going for loudness, where would you place the port? Side fire, Front fire, ect.

try sub back port back, do the seats fold down? If so you can try both facing into the cabin and seal it off from the trunk

yes, the seats DO fold down

I'd go with sub back port back for now. Since you said your seats can fold down, you can also try what bhsdriller said and have the subs and port fire into the cabin, and seal it off from the trunk. This method will give you greater output usually, but you have to take the time to really seal it off.

If I have the box built this way, I will probably not be able to do 45 degree angles inside, as I will lose to much airspace. Am I losing a lot here, or will I be alright without the 45s?

Without 45's I would be worried about port noise..

this is a rough idea of what the box will look like

Donsnt sound like you dont have much room for area

Looks nice almost just like the box I got from AMI but he forgot to ship my dowel rods so now I have to wait to build. Looks like you have more then enough room to use 45's.

I had AMI build me a box for my 15" L7 a while back, turned out great

Yea this is my second box from Mike this time I went with one of his DIY kits. Its going to look nice but kinda upset he forgot the rods. So now I am in a holding patern till he replys and gets it taken care of.
