Box positioning in a Convertible?

[Funky4.6VERT]

Hi Guys!

Just finished installing my Alpine CDA-9835 and Infinity Reference components and now I have Subwoofer Box Questions. I have a brand new Old-School(old style) Rockford Fosgate Punch Power 10"DVC 4ohm. I have a convertible and I would preferably like to keep most of what little trunk space I have now. I want it on the right side of the trunk. I know in a coupe if you face the sub toward the tailend of the car it sounds best however I have no idea about a vert. Also I can build it either sealed @.65 Cuft. or ported @1.0Cuft. Which would you suggest in this situation. I think I want to run a Rockford fosgat P3001 and send 150 watts to each coil unless there are any better amps out there for $220-$250.

Any response would be appreciated!

Build it ported. AS far as position just try it either way you want. It should sound ok with a ported enclosure if you face it at the trunk or sideway

Thanks, Brent! I had figured ported would be the way to go but i just didn't know which direction.
