Question about sub/port direction

[Buck 5,000+ posts]

Not sure how well I stated the title //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

My AQ now is forward firing, and the ports fire up.

For the 2 18"s, I have enough depth to fire both subs up because I took the backseat out. Would I have an advantage to fire subs and port up if I am able to? The roof will have 2 layers of Damplifier pro //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Not sure the exact terms, but it seems to me that it will reflect the sound off of the roof (loading?).

That would be somewhat difficult to do, I really just want to keep it between those 2 options. With the space I have, the box is going to have to be as wide as possible, therefore the port will really have no room.

iam running a 1508 in my ext cab s-10 with both the sub and port up and it seem to be quite louder that way than with them firing foward.

What's the appr. distance from sub to roof?
