You can have bass without losing cargo area. It will take a custom fiberglass job and a shallow woofer

Yes. It's beating shallows costing double.

I bought it figuring I may have to save the space before I decided to put the subwoofer enclosure in the Stow-n-Go middle seat storage bins of my 2006 Grand Caravan:

Good to hear it meet with your approval. I'm only driving it with 500 watts, but I think it should sound pretty great. I'm not looking for boom car performance, just good listening performance to offload the low freqs from the other drivers I'm using. Thanks!

It didn't meet my approval. I'd use the DD SL7 because I prefer DD. It did very well on a few RTA runs against the "better" woofer

Well, glad it performed well in tests then. And what are "DD"s?

Oh, NOW y'all tell me!! ;-)

Naw, just kidding. Yeah, I knew there was much better audiophile level equipment out there. I just had a really good experience with Alpine equipment with my 1994 Dodge Caravan, so I stuck with it. I know Alpine is just one of the top consumer level auto audio equipment makers and I likes my last all Alpine set build so I stuck with it for now.

Alpine was amazing when they had the F#1 Status lineup. The X speakers where built by Scanspeak. Now they are just mass market

They will do what they say if that matters. Prices are comparable to others of the same level.
