Casual Catastrophe

...fire? In case you don't know, there is very little space behind the rear seat of a Jeep Wrangler. It is quite a challenge to build a box that not only fits in the space but contains enough air space for dual 12" subwoofers (not to mention the subs have to be shallow mount). Well I am taking on this challenge and I can't decide what direction I should point the subs.. the options are either downward firing or backward toward the tailgate. The subs I've chosen have an x-max of 1" so I will build the box where it will leave about an inch of open airspace between the cone and the adjacent surface at full excursion. Will there even be a noticeable difference between having the subs fire downward vs. backward when it will have the same amount of airspace to fire into either way?
Going for a system with quality over volume, so it will have 2 12" Polk Audio MM1240 single voice coil subs rated at 425 watts rms wired in a 2 ohm load to a Kenwood KAC-9105D mono amp pushing 900 watts at 2 ohms. The rest of the system will have a pair of 5 1/4" Polk MM series component speakers in the dash and a pair of 6 3/4" Polk MM series components in the overhead sound bar, those will be driven by a Kenwood Excelon X600F 4 channel amp which will push ~125 watts RMS to each channel, exactly what all the speakers are rated for!
Oh btw, this is going in my brothers Wrangler, I drive a Wrangler too and I have the exact same system except my subs are only the 8" version of what he's getting and I have different amps but the same power outputs. Mine sounds fricken amazing so I can't wait to hear his with 12's
