Talking

I haven't seen anyone up here fire them forward. I have seen a couple fire them back leaving somewhere around 1.5 ft between subs to back wall.

yeah plus mines in a custom built vented box, im not a fan of the sledehammer boxes, i think they sound like . hopefully more than 145... was the xterra all stock electrical?

I tried firing mine forward in the civic, but it didnt sound nearly as good. Bass waves get stronger the longer they have to travel.

Yeah, it does sound pretty impressive. Once you get into the 140 db range, it feels like a hell of alot more. I popped the front seal of my windshield, which is pretty cool. I like the sub cause it goes low, real low, and loves doing it.

Yeah, the lights dim pretty good. At night, if im listening loud, i think people think i am flashing them, so I try not to crank it at night. As for the window thing, I have no idea. A CRX is pretty small. Hopefully you dont. Ive seen lots of CRX's with crazy systems, and they hold together well.
