This^^^^^^^^

I have subs and port forward sealed from the trunk, and it gets louder than when I had subs and port back, with the seats up and with the seats down.

sub forward port up worked best for me

I put my sub facing toward the trunk of my Nissan Sentra XE and the port facing toward the front of car, and it had deep bass for me... but really it depends on how big your trunk is and how your box is built.

subs forward port forward for me and it sounds best like that in my ride.

I get alot of "you should face your subs toward your trunk"... but for me i Like to go for CLEAN AND LOUD as opposed to loud. My trunk is not deadened so it just rattles like fuck if i do it the other way.

I personally LIKE my setup:) lol

Since I have a small ass truck, I have my shit sub up port up, and it bangs alright but its the only position I've tried so I don't really know how good it is.

for low volume SQ running 2x 12's in a ported box i like it sub forward port forward, especially if the trunk isnt sealed. it hits this resonance peak volume that just hits so hard with no volume but sounds clean and clear. of course it can get nasty high as well but the notes seemed much clearer than when i ran sub back port back.

the hardest hitting was when i ran no port at all with the subs facing back.

if the box is sealed i like it sub back, much larger difference.

on vehicles like the tahoe sub up port back is my favorite instead of sub up port up. for all out SPL that setup works best, but i find that sub up port back in those vehicles sounds more musical.

on my next trunk build ill do sub back and port back because im sealing the trunk like a mofo, more CU to take advantage of in the car.

Has anyone experienced what way you have your subs faced? Like towards the back of your trunk or towards you? If its louder or sounds better, that kind of thing. Let me know your input on this!

Thanks

sub forward port up semi-wall was rediculous, but how could it not be?

could you post a pic?

my best sound has been from subs and ports face forward, although i had me deville walled. when i had my cutlass i had my single 12 facing the trunk and the box was about 2 feet away. i moved it closer toward the edge of the trunk and a there was a noticeable difference. its all about the placement and the better results that i have had is when the box is right at the edge of the trunk, i turned the box around and it sounded like shit.
