which type of box to go with??

[Civic_D16Y5]

ok, my situation, stick with my ported box for my two 12 inch subs, and then which way would i turn the box, towards me and the passenger, or up o the top of my trunk, or out back facing away from me.
choice two is fiberglass a pair of custom fit sub boxes in my trunk, one on each side, and which way should i turn those?

it depends on what you want out of your box(s). if you are going with the sound quality i would say the ported box will probably sound better, but if you are going for a more custom or stealthy look i would go for the fiberglass project and i would face them anyway, but at each other so there is no cancelation. for the ported box you should face it towards the trunk. hope this helps.

also that y5 engine thats an 96'-98' HX right? Vtec-E?

[Civic_D16Y5]

yes i have an hx engine, i dont see how this would be important for subwoofer boxes ?

Your best bet is a sealed box(s) facing the back of the car

i heard that the best type of box for sound quality is a sealed box. im no expert, so im definitely not trying to say youre wrong, im just trying to get the facts straight.

Yes it greatly reduces distorted sound and it seems to have been louder depending on the car, I happen to have a 93 civic in which it sounds better facing the back.
