With the subs facing the front of the car that you can see when you lay the backseat down. I was wondering if I should use ports like this one, one on each side gonig up through the rear deck. It will be a sealed box. Do you think I should use the ports?

Ummm, if its a SEALED box you cant have ports... SEALED = SEALED and PORTED = w/ ports
Duhhey :flipa:
I say do what you like, personally I think the ports in the back deck look corny

well I mean that it's going to be sealed if I don't have the ports in there. I don't care if the ports look corny, will they make it louder? And would it be hard?

No not hard, and a ported box if setup correctly will easily run +3dB louder then sealed.
