sean 371 Posted April 20, 2007 Report Posted April 20, 2007 You just have to look at the way the air will flow. If you have a slot port that curves and goes a fair way into the box, it makes sense to mount the sub adjacent to the port opening, so that all the air will be pushed towards the port opening. How you design the air flow will affect the sound of the box, but not by a huge noticeable amount (usually) A couple links to some box builds: Tahoe Box 1, Tahoe Box 2, Nissan Titan, VW GTI, Mini-Bump, Hummer H2, Ford F-150 My own car builds (current setup --- under construction): Overall Thread, Kickpods, Dash, Back Doors Subwoofer Wall

sean 371 Posted April 20, 2007 Report Posted April 20, 2007 Mounting it over to the left would be the most efficient way. But my box is far from the most efficient design as well, as I didn't want to compromise the external looks for a little bit of sound quality/SPL gain. Edit: putting a horizontal 45 in the below where the sub will be mounted, and 3 vertical 45's (the two on the right side and the third in the port angle) will also help.
