I have seen this box before in a Honda Accord. It was ****ing awesome. The owner who owns a stereo shop custom built it. Sealed off half of the trunk with plexi and on the inside made a box with 2 12" L7's in two seperate chambers sharing one square port through the armrest. With the armrest up it was like a sealed box, and with it down like a ported box. Man when you put that thing down the hair on your head and arms would literally vibrate and move. NO LIE!

Ive done an incredibly simple test, just turning my sub around in the trunk of my station wagon and folding down the rear seats (so that they dont block the woofers). The volume dropped significantly by having it facing forwards. I agree with everyone else that having the sound waves reflecting off of the door of the trunk improves the sound considerably. Although your situation is not identical to the test i did, it certainly suggests that rear facing subs may be better.

Here's an article about such testing:  http://www.installer.com/tech/aiming.html
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
