I believe he wants to do something like this:

but pretend "firing to the passenger side" was replaced with "firing behind the passenger seat through a large hole"

Just wanted to follow up.
I used this speaker in the sealed box for a few weeks in the miata. I was never really happy with the performace of the speaker/box/car combo. It sounded just ok with the hardtop on, a little better with the doors open, but when you were underway the bass just wasn't there. Take the hardtop off and I give up even hearing the speaker. Needless to say, I was unhappy, dissapointed and even embarrased to show my coworkers/friends. All that money time for a sub amp combo and it just kinda sucked.
So I fired up my Winisd and decided to spec out a ported box. THE BEST IDEA EVAR.
I had to sacrafice the spare tire to get the box to fit, but I fabbed up a 1.18 cubic foot box, threw a 3" diamerter aero port 17 inches into the box, and fired the sub forward with the port firing to the pass side. Tuned to 29/30hz.
It rocks, top up/down, windows up/down it does not matter. This sounds soo much better. I was able to turn my gains down and get even more sound then was ever possable with the sealed box.
Now I can bump in public and not be embarrased.

I ran a Crunch 12" on a Pioneer 500 watt amp. Chose it for the price and decent quality. And with minimal preparation, I got it to sound great, as well as LOUD. My right ear still suffers when noises get too intense.
