[QUOTE="honkyg, post: 8554857, member: 606879"] depends on box tuning and size of the vehicle, tbh, at least in my experience... the further down in frequency you go, the longer the sound wave needs to travel on a longitudinal plane. situating a box built for low 30's will do better (once again, in my experience) when you face port/sub to the rear as opposed to tuning in high 40's where situating them forward and sealing off the trunk may produce higher spl's. some people have different configurations like port up/sub rear, or what have you to make a compromise in their goals, such as clarity vs. spl. having control of the phase shift (rudimentary time alignment) helps quite a bit as well in finding the sweet spot. test, retest, and test again [/QUOTE]
