BOOM!BOOM! to my ZOOM!ZOOM!
I'm looking for opinions from people on whether or not they agree with this style of audio system for the rx-7,
1)custom fitted , full rear fiberglass enclosed box
2)two 15" cdt audio subs
3)two 5,000 watt cdt audio watercooled amps
4)bass porthole centered facing front of vehicle
5)duel bypass
6)6-disc cd changer w/cdt audio graphic equalizer
fc has been covered in dynamat, frame has been filled with blow-in insulation
everything is nice and tight , no rattles , no bad vibrations.

Personally I think 2 15's would be WAY too much in an RX7. It's a small enclosed car, anything you put in there is gonna amplify pretty damn well. Furthermore, I think all of that is a lot of weight you're adding to the rear of the car which I wouldn't do personally.
If I were to ever add subs to my rx7, it'd be 1 or 2 W3 10's with some good speakers. No huge special fiberglass box, just a normal one that will work with the w3's. I think that'd be more than enough, but that's just my opinion.

In reality all the sound deadening things are almost the exact same, all the tar based ones anyways, and roofing material is made the exact same way, again the tar based ones. My friend and I soundproofed his mustang entirely with peal and seal for a fraction of the cost, no more rattles and significantly reduced road noise.

Well...I hope your rich. Im not trying to put you down or anything. It would be a hell of a system, just a bit much if you ask me. Good luck with it though.

don't listen to these guys...my old '85 rx7 had 4 12" subs in there...it did way alot, but the car was more for fun than a fast car...i had no engine mods. i'd still like to go louder...the highest db i hit was 142.6. i just bought a 85 rx7 again, and plan on putting 4 12" again (alpine type r), but this time, im going to invest more into mids and highs. alpine type r 5 1/4 2 ways in the kick panels, and alpine 6.5 in the rear (not sure yet, any ideas)? my old system, and my new system was an enclosed box that took up all the space in the rear of the car, from behind the storage bins, to the back, and just high enough to clear where the rear hatch closed at the back. i may even go 4 15's, but that might be too much. go for the killer bass, you won't regret it!!!!

142.6 with 4 12's? You either needed more power, better subs, or proper tuning because thats crap. I hit 160 dB in my SUV with 2 Kicker Solobaric L7 12's (the square subs) with an rf bd1000.1 amp tested out to 1207 watts, yellowtop battery, 5.0 ferrad cap, 0 gauge wiring for the power/ground for amps and subs, diamond components in the front, mb quart components in the rear, rf 700 watt amp for speakers. No problem hitting in the 150's and peaking at 160 dB when it wasn't even fully tuned for loudness, it was more tuned for sound quality.
