It is a ported box, with a slot port, but I don't know what the box is tuned to. Right now I have it pointed toward the passenger compartment and it slams! I would just turn it myself and check the difference, but it is a pain in the arse to move it, and figured someone on here would know already. Thanks in advance everyone for your help.

The logic of it seems solid... or maybe I'm drunk... all I know is that almost 30 people viewed this post without chiming in... judging from the amount of arguments I have seen on this forum compared to others I am a member of that must mean something... needless to say I am turning my subs around tomorrow. We'll see if it works for me.

I did that It is easy to pick once you do that. There are reasons that custom shops face them toward the trunk. I dont think it is just for show. I could really tell the difference when I played with positioning. 3L process done
