I posted in the westrn section for ya Mike.
But ports back does NOT work in these cars. It looks like a crx with a back seat but they have far different SPL characteristic.
Like Iouli said side loading the port into the drivers side corner was 0.5 louder for me then up and up was about 1 dB louder then port back.

too late, had to make the call late last night so the box was ready for the customer, settled on single 8 x 8 port firing back

I've got an MX3 that I've been building a few different boxes thanks to the help of Iouli (snicker) And yeah, it seems to be loudest with a port fired to the side. But I've noticed it depends on what type of port you're using. Slot or aero?
