    How exactly do you plan to go IB in your room? IB in a house generally requires cutting walls, floors or closing off a closet. Not sure that's something your parents would go for. Nor is it easy without a TON of displacement potential....meaning a lot of large diameter high excursion subwoofers with a pretty decent amount of power on tap. A house is nothing like a car, much harder to achieve bass output in a house than a car. You honestly would probably be better off with a ported enclosure tucked in a corner.

    As for speakers and receiver....budget, goals, space, what all you need the receiver to do (input/output/etc) is all needed.

    If you want this to also be a learning experience you could look at one of the numerous speaker kits available. They generally come with all of the parts (speakers, crossover parts, etc) that you need for the speakers. Some come with cabinets, others don't. If you have the ability to build the cabinets or can talk Nem into helping build them, then there are a ton more options available for various speaker plans.

    Generally speaking dollar for dollar it's possible to end up with better performance going with a DIY kit and/or plans instead of the mainstream big box type speakers.

    Well its not really gonna be for music, Its going to be an entertainment system i was going for a 12" ina ported enclosure. With a real nice receiver w/ crossovers and such already in it. I am not saying it going to happen right away nor will i want to seal off any of my closet or door spaces or anything but i would very much so like to have a nice sound system like that. I figured the IB3 would be a good driver for something of the sort with some nice mid and high towers nothing huge. i need skinny stuff because my room is big but a lot of the space is taken up. ill get some pics of the room and an idea of what id like to have done.
