I have a 4 door 2000 blazer with 2 dd 9512s facing backwards. ports and subs both faced the rear gate. I flipped them forward and doesnt sound much louder. If i flip them forward and behind the front seats will that increase my DB at the meter? or facing them backwards is going to get me the same reading?

i'd expect it to do best with subs up, port back...or subs to driver side, ports back.
maybe it's time for a new box
