Okay, currently my setup as far as bass is 2 memphis audio m-class dvc 12's n a sealed box being powered by my ol' alpine MRV-T757 amp. They sound great and all, but when i really wanna listen hard, my 6.5's and 6x9's drown em out. Well since im a huge fan of alpine's older amps from like the mid - late 90's, i decided to go with the mrv-1507. From what ive read about experiences of ppl who own a 1507, its a monster. Well i got one off eBay in good condition for an amazing 200 bucks! sweet. Im just wondering what i should expect from this setup. Im gonna go ahead and rewire my car with some 4 ga. wire.

Also, i heard someone say something about turning subs around to face the rear of the car producing more sound. Now naturally i would think that them pounding at the rear seat would produce more sound than pounding at the trunk lid. Can someone explain?

err i may not be that experienced, but all i have to say is please wire with 1/0 gauge, it will save major hassle in the near future, and for the subs, just the only way to find out what hits harder is to try all diff angles, and whatever sounds best to you stick with it. only its been tested and there were favorable results with the subs facing the taillights

1/0 gauge? Isnt that a little overkill? That stuff's as big around as my thumb!
