[QUOTE="bbeljefe, post: 8142152, member: 655960"] Yeah I have. Matter of fact, I just got done building a box for an RE SRX 15 I picked up and it has the port and woofer on different sides. I've had that one on both sides of the back seat and with the port facing up at the roof on the right side with the woofer forward and with the port to the left window with the woofer forward. I've also had it woofer up port to front and woofer forward port to the left side with the box in the middle. Now... with all that said, I've not metered it in any position so I can't say what is actually louder on a meter. I'm just saying that the bass sounds better (and louder) in the configuration I mentioned. Also, with the woofer box to the right, woofer forward and port up, the bass is better for me (the driver) than it is for the passenger. Likewise, if you flip the arrangement, the bass will be better in the passenger's seat. If I were going to meter it, it probably would be better for the port to be facing the side window or door panel since there is more reflection there than on the cloth headliner. One other thing I've noticed as well, I get more flex of the cab when I have the sub in that arrangement. And again, it's been that way with every box I've had in the truck that was small enough to move around and try different locations with. And yeah, I can imagine sound pressure is better at the headrest with the port right behind it. But sound pressure doesn't = sound quality and I'm talking more from the latter perspective. [/QUOTE]
