Port forward/back/side/up?

Hello all,

First I'd like to say thanks for everyone who helped me out on the forums. I've learned a lot. I now am asking to squeeze more knowledge out of you fine folks! I have a 4-door F150 and am planning on building a 6cu box. I am just wondering where I should make my port point? Forward, back, side or up? The box will be behind the front passenger's seat and will be taking up the whole rear passenger side of the truck. (Trying to save some space for kids). If I point my port back, I have about 4 inches from the box to the wall (don't know if this helps). Any input or help would be great!

Thanks in advance,

Hif

I guess that means that the port would have to be on the bottom of the box then right?

when i was doing testing in my truck it was loudest with subs forward and port upwards in the rear of the box (that may just be my truck but it was a .6 db difference)

Box was the almost the whole width of the cab, so he had plenty of space for port. Subs were on the passenger side of box. Every truck is different though, this is one of the ways I've seen work in a truck, yours may like or it may not. Just gotta find out, gl
