Tek Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 When designing a subwoofer enclosure, is it better to have it sub up port back or sub back port back? Or is port front better? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kl0wn Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 All depends what kind of vehicle it is going in, but everybody also has their own personal preference of what sounds better.

tristan560 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Suv...sub up port up, or sub up port to the side usually work out the best.

Cashdollar2009 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Suv...sub up port up, or sub up port to the side usually work out the best. Today is odd. I have ALWAYS heard that in probably 95% of cases, suv's love sub up port back. Today is odd because I was reading in another post that sub forward port out the side sounds best in a trunked car? Wtf have I been reading? lol Quote On 6/30/2011 at 1:11 AM, 'Ray' said: Acoustical energy is free. Electrical energy is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wtf have I been reading? lol People always change their minds, nothing stays the same. That's why I said everybody has their own way to what sounds best to them. Best thing to honestly do, is build a box or two, and test out all different ways to see which one sounds best to you.
