hope those help. (please excuse the poor cell phone quality)

That is exactly what I was looking for. thank you! I'm actually thinking about getting two 10" W7. Do you think the dual 10 box from zen enclosures will give it enough air?

btw? how hard does that hit in our cars?

Thanks! That is what I was looking for. There really isn't much visibility out the rear window anyway, so the box doesn't seem to do much to make it any worse.

Thanks again.

It hits really hard in my car, I cant see any reason to go for 2 (except bragging rights i guess). There definitely wont be the proper amount of air for 2 w7's. It is actually smaller than recommended for 1 (and not ported either).

Yea, my cousin can barely run a 10W7 in a small box for his 350Z. It leaks lots of air, and it just sounds nasty as if the speaker is about to implode.

I'm not sure if it works, but how about a single 10W7 and a 10" passive radiator? [EDIT]... hmm, 10W7 might blow it up hahaa.

I had never considered a PR before, might be possible but i think it is recommended to have a PR that is bigger than the driver to be safe. Like 2 10" PRs or 1 12...i hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong (i dont know much about building boxes).

I should also mention that if I didnt already have the w7 before I installed it I wouldnt have put it in this box. It really doesnt sound good when ran with a lot of bass, the air flow isnt sufficient. It makes a noise similar to the "imploding" that was mentioned above. I keep the sub turned way down to keep a clean sound (which defeats the purpose of a w7 in my opinion).

With that said it does sound really nice and clean with it turned down. But if I were buying one to match this box it wouldn't be a w7.

I had an eD 5.12 with the rear fire type box, and it was very deep (like an HT sub). However, it wasn't very loud and didn't respond well to classic rock and whatnot. However, it hits hard and deep when playing electronica and hip hop tracks. It's a bit too much, which makes it hard to tune it for a variety of tracks.

I recently switched to a 12W6, and it is still breaking in. After a bit of quick tuning the sub is not as deep as the eD, but it is louder. It responds very well to all kinds of music. Overall, I'm a very happy camper
