which way to face ported enclosure
i have a ported enclosure for a 12" subwoofer. my question was wether i would get better sound facing the sub towards the rear or facing the sub upwards. it is going in a 99 civic.

you should put it in. play a song, then turn the box the other config that you wanted, play the same song and see which one you like better. make sure to take into account the rattling from the trunk lid and the fact that while going over some rough bumps, the box could lift off the trunk floor and smash into the back dash

if you had it face back the cone could be damaged by the trunk. I would just try it both ways to see which one you think sounded better. Facing the back would give it the best sound though, but you have to try it really.

This also goes for sealed boxes. Just see which position you prefer.
