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 it's called (so that my original one will not be damaged) and install the sub facing the inside of the car. The guy said although it won't be day and night difference I'd get better quality bass if it was facing the inside. What do you guys think? Which one should I go for?
Here are the pics to give you an idea on what the inside of my car looks like:

The guy at the audioshop told me something like if the sub faces the boot the bass will first be hitting away from me and then coming into the cabin whereas if the sub faces the inside of the car I'll get more clean bass etc. but i'm not sure //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif
