Ported box users: Which way is your sub/port facing? POLL

[wong05tsx 10+ year member]

After 26 pages of results and reading, there's way too much contradictions, so just putting up a straight up poll to figure out which way to do mine since I only have enough mdf to make one box, gots to make the best out of it.

Please dont post flaming me saying it depends on the sub/trunk etc/box size etc. If I were to narrow it down it it would be too specific and I would probably only get one or two votes on the poll

I think you forgot sub up port side, that's what I got.

Can't you turn the box once it's in the car to try forward and rear firing and see which you like best?

Assuming your just building a daily driver and not after the last .1 on the TL then it really won't matter all that much.

I've done port/sub rear and forward and my experience has been that rear firing "seems" to hit a little lower/harder, but forward firing sounds cleaner. Your car/ears could be just the opposite though...

Reason I'm doing the poll/asking is because I only have so much clearance in my trunk, I would only be able to turn the box 180 degrees horizontally.

Floor - navi unit = 14.5", and im putting a 15" idq

As the results are looking right now i'll probably be doing sub up port back.

Thanks for the input/voting for those of you who didn't waste my time reading stupid posts like Psturmer demonstrated:yureawsm:

Subs up usually don't work too well in a trunk. Rear or front firing usually works the best.

I have sub up/aeroports to the driver side in my trunk.

Sub up, port side

Edit:.. same as above!!

2nd edit: sry, didnt even read what others said

I knew there's exceptions, that's why I included usually. But, most of the loud trunk setups you see are sub firing forward or to the rear.

well there is a start. you have a trunked car.

For those of you with a trunk car and have your sub facing up, which way is your port facing?

(getting more specific)

suggestions?
