i have a 2004 kicker 12" L7 in a medium ported box. how much airspace would i get by reverse mounting the sub?

Clearly, when you take your sub out and mount it inverted, you are removing it from the enclosure volume, hence gaining some interior volume. There is simply no disputing this. Now, is it enough to be audible? Most likely not. Even with a Motor the size of the L7.

look on the kicker site, or the spec sheet for your woofer, and see how much air is displaced when mounted normally. that is how much you will gain. or to make life easier, just calculate the airspace of the box internally, take out the port area and that is what you will be left with.
