subwoofer orientation question

[Jimg]

car is a mustang 2012
I was looking to wall off the trunk with the subs facing forward , with amplifiers on an amp rack in the trunk

problem is with the back seats up, sound will probably suffer


Would this option be better

I will not be using the rear deck speakers, so I could completely remove them and leave the two spaces open.
I would even be open to cutting out a larger opening in the rear deck and cover with speaker cloth
would it work if I still walled off and sealed the trunk and turned the subs and the port playing through the rear deck cutout ?

I think I have settled on three 8's ported on 1500w

Putting the subwoofers under the speaker openings can be made to work well. Be prepared to reinforce the crap out of the rear deck area. Because it is going to rattle if you don’t.
