Vertical or Horizontal?

I have 2 Pioneer TW-302R's. I am building a box with slot ports. But I was wondering if it would sound better with the subs mounted vertically or horizontally?

What vehicle?

2002 Chevy Astro. I want to keep the backseat in though.

Larger vehicles usually work best if you mount the subs on the top with the port on the front off to one side. Whether you position the subs so they're pushed up next to each other in a line or stagger them so they're at an angle is up to you, it won't change the sound.

One other question. Should I do separate chambers or one chamber for both subs? Also, if I were to do two separate chambers does torres tuning calculator factor in the separate chambers?

You can do either. One chamber can save you space but make sure that the subs unload evenly. As in make sure that one sub is not closer to the port than the other. Try to have the port right in the middle right between the woofers. How you can think of it is two separate ported boxes but joint into one, having the ports meet together.

So, I used Torres to get the specs for my box. Would doing what your saying change the frequency at all?
