Those of you with trucks? & experts

I'm doing a build on the side for fun. My space will allow for a large box so size isn't a issue. I have a 06 F150 and want to throw 4 tens back there ported. Now my question is, should i face the subs up towards the roof of the truck or Forward towards the front seats. What are people seeing works best in trucks?

Here is a pic to give you an idea.

I have heard up sounds better in my body style F-150 but have never tried it

I was told that subs need to load off somthing, facing up subs can load off roof and have more room for the sound waves to travel vs going forward where the waves cant form as long?

Bought what Ive heard but not sure how well it applies to trucks

There are a few options that work well, from what I have seen: sub and port up, sub forward and port up, and sub forward/up and port to the side. In my experience, doing both up can cause more cancellation issues than the others.

In my s10 sub up port to the side is louder to the ear vs sub forward port to the side.. Also when I had a sealed 18" it sounded better/louder with sub up.

I've heard more luck with sub forward port up

Sub forward and port up, or sub up and port to the side.
