I was actually thinking to seal it agains the rear window with a suction cap to benefit from solar energy and woofer magnet works better when heated with summer sun

Yeah, most people say when sub faces the rear of the car it sounds boomier. Also I'm concerned if I'll hear the subwoofer slap noise if I run the sub inside (facing inside). So from what I've read so far, sub facing rear: Pros: - Boomier and deeper bass - Less likely to hear distortion etc...

The boot of the RX7 is shallow, something like 9.5-10" from top to bottom. We will have to make a custom box and angle the sub. I'm going to get this system made in a shop so if we wanted to test which one sounds better we'd have to use an of the shelf box, remove the tray in the boot so the...

Soon I'll have a single 10" (25cm) Alpine Type-R (swr-1042d) sub installed to my RX7. Initially I was going to get a box made so that the subwoofer would be facing the trunk however today another audioshop I visited said they can also do a mold of the rear seat backrest/board/panel or whatever...

Ok thanks. Btw I made a mistake SWR-1042d is 4+4 not 2+2, I hope that's doesn't affect the answer.

Thanks for the link, exactly what I was looking for. According to the link, both Type-R and P3 will work in a 22 litre (0.77cubic feet) box although the upper limit for RF P3 is 0.75 cubic feet. And I was worrying here the box would be rather small lol. Anyway I think I'll go with Alpine and...

Well, I need a subwoofer that'll work with my Alpine MRP-M500 amp (300w @ 4ohm, 500w @ 2ohm) and will be ok to use in a 22 litre subwoofer box. I'm no expert but apparently that sub box size is on the small size and not ever sub works well in that kind of measurement. If Alpine Type-R 10" or...

Thanks, I'll look into them. The problem with international shipping is not the sellers overseas but the customs here, very strict!

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately none of these products are available in Turkey. We have Cervin Vega Vmax but in 12" not 10". We have most of the other major brands though.

My car is a RX7 so I have limited room in the boot. According to my measurements I can fit a 22 litre closed sub box in there. The amp I am running for the sub is an Alpine MRP-M500 (300w @ 4ohm, 500w @ 2ohm). I was looking at Alpine Type R SWR-1022/42 and Rocford Fosgate P3d210 or 410 but I...

Yes US dollars I live in a country where petrol is $10 per gallon so you do the maths $125 won't even buy you Alpine Type-S speakers here.

Yeah I won't buy those speakers. We don't have Image Dynamics here, I will probably buy a new set of Alpine SPR-17S. The problem with the RX7 is front doors can only handle speakers with 2.5" depth. Most speakers like DLS MS6A, Hertz HSK 165 and Infinity Kappa Perfect 6.1 have higher depth...

Good news just keep coming (not) both models have blown tweeters but the guy also dropped the price quite a lot. I can't find any 100rms tweeters.

Thanks for the warning

Guys there was a misunderstanding. Correction: http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php/460602-Correction-Alpine-SPX-17REF-vs-SPR-17S?p=6922692
