inverted or not????

Ok I just finished building a sealed box out of 3/4 mdf. Yes I am making the step up from a plate to a box! I was wondering if I should mount the subs inverted or just mount them normally? Which will hit harder/sound better? Any help would be appreciated.

I will post pics soon.

It'll make virtually no difference. With them inverted you'll get just a tad more airspace for the sub, but not really enough to matter.

I figured it probably was just an appearance thing, but a buddy of mine swore it would hit harder with them inverted, (what does he know)

If you have a massive sub, go for it. If you have some cheap looking sub, I would just say put it in regular style. Backwards probably keeps you from having to buy a grille.
