Although you can get a 3dB increase in output when reflecting low frequencies off a surface I don't think port location really matters that much. I have my port firing sideways(passenger side). http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/6/web/846000-846999/846007_25_full.j pg Can't see it, but theres a 4x5" rectangular port there.  -Fishy |

Between firing them towards the rear or front really depends on how much room you have. I'd think towards the seats would be best, but if you have some room in the back try it both ways. I've seen some downfiring ported enclosures which had very little port clearance. A full port diameter of space might not be necessary. Rear porting may actually make the box sound better by increasing output as well as the effective airmass vibrating in the port thereby tuning your box a bit lower. -Fishy |
