does the port need to face the same way?

forgive me for not being able to explain this right but when designing the box do i need to face the port any certain way? i noticed that when i face the speakers towards the front of the car i feel the bass more as vs firing it towards the rear. is this because of the speakers, the port or both? to get this "feeling"  where should i aim the speakers and ports? could i fire the speakers towards me and the port towards the rear of the car? or the other way around? i have a 07 magnum, would firing towards the glass produce anything soundwise?

Generally it doesn't make much difference, in a typical daily driver install, what side of the box the port faces.  The most important thing is that both the driver and port fire into the same general cavity of air.  Example, both fire into the truck rather than port extended into cabin...or, both fire into the cargo area of a hatchback, e.g.

Some, whose goal is comp SPL, will end up building a handful of box versions and testing db level with each configuration.  The loudest reading, while great for comp numbers, is usually not the best sound.
