I can't speak from experience...but I've noticed in most cars I've heard, that walls seem to have more pressure than a similar setup not in a wall...like when you stick your head in the car it feels like your eardrums are gonna pop.

I would think that alot more rattles would be heard from facing them up. The wall should be so loud you can't hear anything lawl.

If you think about it the point from the front of a wall to the base of the windshield will be different than a floorbox with the same equipment.

i've had both and a lot of it depends on the port placement. Port across the top in a wall makes it much more enjoyable for both passengers. There are also a lot less rattles which is a huge plus in my books. I like walls better than boxes only if port is across the top or down the middle.

yeah you get sore ears but poorer sound quality and a lack of roll, it's way more daily friendly with port across the top.
