Sub mounting question

[Joshex]

Alright guys, I'm going to be building a new box shortly and have a quick question about it.

I'm going to be running my 2 12" Rockford P3s in my Civic with a sound deadened trunk.

Now the question I have is, would it be ok to have my subs facing upward and port firing forward?

Are there any negative consequences to this, if so should I just put both port and sub firing forward?

I don't know why it would hurt anything.

Try it.

If you don't like it build a different box

I figured it wouldn't hurt much, but I've heard rumors not to do it.

I would build a couple boxes if I could, but I'm a typical broke student. ha

you could try it but being that they're in a trunk I would fire them forward along with port. Prob be much better output and cleaner sound.. IMO

I was going to do it up, but I'm having second thought since there isn't really any benefit.

Thanks for the input guys.

I mean forward as in firing towards back of the trunk,much better output when they fire off the rear trunk wall. Just make sure you deaden the heck out of it. I hear cars all the time that have no deadening in them and just sounds like crap IMO. Nobody wants to hear all that rattle

Well, I've tried both ways and I personally like firing towards the cab with my seats down. I need to do a bit more deadning, but my trunk hardly rattles. I'm eventually going to do a trunk seal, just money issues.
