well i have had my car for a good 4 years or so, and i never really had any bass in the car, i don't want to add a huge box in the trunk, or if there is sometime you guys can recommend,not sure about the bazooka tube, it has its own amplifier in it so that's a + since i don't want to switch up to a bigger amp and spend more $. plus i have a water injection tank in the back along with the small amp and i don't want to really add more and have the trunk full.

Pass on the Bazooka.

You don't need a million watts either.

If you're just starting out and/or on a budget, a quality 10" in a sealed box with a gross 0.5 ft^3 interior volume and 100 *RMS* will give you enough loud and clean bass to drown out the factory speakers. You can upgrade and amplify those next.

I have plenty of experience with SAS bazookas, so here is my two cents. A SAS bazooka will never sound as good as a WELL built box, regardless of the box purpose (sealed, vented, band pass, etc). With that said, a well build box is not something you buy off the shelf, in fact I've never seen an off the shelf box that I would call a quality box.

What does that means? If you plan is to buy an off the shelf box, and throw X brand speaker on it, then you are probably better of with a SAS Bazooka

Next on the list, I have no experience with their 12 inch tube, back in the days they only had a 6, 8 or 10 unch tube. The 6 inch tube was useless, so forget that one. The 8 inch tube would produce a tighter bass sound than the 10 inch counterpart.

I don't know if they have improved their amplified tubes, but they SUCKED. The amps used to go out after a year of use, or so.

I had a 8" Rockford Fosgate powered Tube in the hatch on the FD for a the longest sort of time. It had enough beat for me. Hell, compared to the 4 18" CV Strokers I had in my Tahoe, I thought the tube sounded pretty good.

Well I don't want to add a box in the trunk and have no room, like I said I have the water injection tank which is 1.5.gallons, eg I'll take a picture of the rear when I get home.. Anyone have pics of their setup?

Well, I'm not the biggest audiophile but I have used an amplified 12 inch Bazooka tube in the FD for over 5 years now and it is great for me. I actually turn the sub down quite a bit as it its way too thumpy for me unless I do this.

Just my 0.2 cents worth.

I have learned that bass and saving room don't go in the same sentence especially for a RX7. Depending on your budget your options are 1- DamonB style subbox (maybe you can do a little smaller), 2- Something like Infinity Basslink (still takes room). 3- Custom rear seat so the sub faces inside and takes less room. 4- Smaller subs placed in rear storage bins. 5- 6x9's in rear speaker spots and pretend they sound like subs lol.
