Every kid with a car stereo knows the bass is better when the box is turned
around backwards so the woofer itself is closer to the back of the car.

Tom on the other hand says it makes no difference in the amplitude of
the bass in the listening area and all these folks must be imagining it....

No; Tom has listened to and measured the differences. At low frequencies it
doesn't matter which way the box is faced. At higher frequencies with a system
that has no low pass filter or a driver that emits suspension noises ro other
artifacts its a good idea to point the radiating surface away from the
listeners ears.
