Is there a difference in sound?

Hey all, i was wondering if there was a difference in the way the subs sound if they are facing upwards (like setup in the spare tire area faced upwards). Im horrible at discriptions so im just curious. I dont know much about stereo's and the physics behind it, but im trying to learn. So again to try and make my question clear, here goes. Is there a difference between having the subs faced towards the rear of the car, or setup as shown in the picture. The picture is of Derek-CEO's setup.

Well im not asking HOW the sound will change, im trying to figure out the physics behind it.. Will the sound not be projected to the front of the car as well as if the sound was bouncing off the rear of the trunk?
