Tom Nousaine keeps insisting THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE!

He has said if you do hear a BASS difference by turning the box
around then you either changed something or you are halucinating.

Every installer and so many kids that install thier own woofers know
that turning the box to the rear of the car usually produces MORE BASS!
Probaby MOST of the folks on here KNOW THIS ALREADY and
have experienced it for themselves....

THE REASON!
TOM on the other hand is stuck in a corner... Several years ago he
wrote an article for Car Stereo Review that claimed the woofer box
orientation is not important... !! And those fools at CSR published it!
(ha ha) anyway, Toms professional credibility would be SHOT if
he admitted to what so many of us know for a fact ....

The reason he didnt hear or measure a difference (if you read the
article) is because of the simple fact that his test car was a CORVETTE!
(ha ha again)

Butting a box in the hatch of a corvette, there isnt much room to move the
box very far, so the effects I describe on my website would probably be
non existant (to the ear)...

In a normal car trunk, turning a big box around or moving it substancially
can make a large noticable difference!

In a tiny corevett that has to have a TINY box anyway, how far car it
be moved??? ha ha .. not far enough for Tom to hear a difference!

NO ****!
So he based the laws of physics on his little crackerbox CORVETTE!

Thats the problem as I see it!
Thats why he wont admit what we can all hear...

Good luck argueing with him, he will NEVER admit it or even try
to have a resonable technical discussion about it....

I guess my big question, which Eddie seems to be the only one who can
answer, is why DOES it make a difference when you turn the box around? and
when I mean turn the box around, I DON'T mean change anything else.
