def. more info, but to give an idea, if in trunk, then subs and port should both face back, in SUV, subs up, port back, in a wall, subs and port front obviously. what vehicle is it?

extended cab f-150 and it's a single Fi BTL 15. Box is going to be appx 5 cubic feet and port is going to be tuned to 32 hz

i dont have experience with trucks all that much but from what i've seen, sub up port passenger side seems to do damn good in competition and if built right will give the port a loading area to work in as well.

If you had the room, you could try sub back if u could spare about 6-8" from the back of the cab but usually not feasible and port to the passenger side. This would give front and rear wave a loading area.

However, most people who requests box designs from me for trucks will request either sub up port up or sub forward port forward. They tell me from experience that's what they like so i'm like okay...

It's just like hatchbacks- I have a hatchback. People may think sub up port back is the box to use when staying in street class for competition or just for keeping everything in the cargo area....

While this may be true in some hatchbacks, my hatchback is still louder with sub back port back.

Also, another tip... If you can extend the box by pulling it closer to the seat or just removing the rear seat but still fire the subs AND port into the cargo area.... Wala! There was a thread about that on CA not too long ago about a guy that owns a Ford Escort doin that and burpin over a 150 with a single 15 and less than 2,000w! That's very efficient! He had a massive loading area to work with, the entire cargo area and how hatch's slant up, that glass helps alot.

from what I've seen with trucks, it really depends on what kind of space you have to work with, but as close to a wall setup as possible seems to work well. which is sub and port both facing forward. try to give port as much room as possible to breathe, that really helps. seen a guy was doing 146's all day on a hifonics 1206 and a 15" Q. so basically a 1kw system. was in an extended cab as well. I think that's beatin pretty hard.

X2. Its killin my truck.

But if you need numbers then you might try and face forward.

yea i have a focus hatch, and it hit the lows better with port up and sub up, but i took the backseat out and faced the sub and port to the back and the lows arent quite as strong, but it hits everything alot better and sounds louder, i dont have a tl so idk if it meters better but it sounds better and louder with port and sub to the back.
