I may have been misunderstood.



How you place a box and face your subs can be subjective - moving your sub box around and facing it in different ways will change your sound.

The conversation was based on trunk challenges. So, we will assume you are working with a trunk and not a hatch.



Based on the way you wrote your statement, I'd infer that your subs and your port face the same direction.



Therefore, we can say that that facing your subwoofer and port towards the back of the car with the box pushed as close to the rear of the trunk as possible will cause the incident and reflected waves to be closely in phase with each other, minimizing cancellation.
