Well, I have finally got a "newer" version of my dream car, a dodge charger. I have no real clue what to do when it comes to audio. I have pretty much always had Best Buy style stuff in my vehicles, last one being 2 RF P3's ported. I want something that will take as little room as possible and still get loud, lookin more at LSQ. I was thinking about doing maybe a 15 or 2 using an IB setup, but have never really seen a IB build and am not sure where to start. I do know that I have to sound deaden the entire trunk. Heads up, more than likely my back seats will always be folded down. Or will I benefit more from a sealed setup. I am not entirely sure. Any help would be great, or at least asking me questions to help point in the right direction.

Also from previous readings, I will be putting in around a 200 amp alt, upgrading the battery, and more than likely getting another battery, also big 3 upgrade.

Loud and IB do not go hand in hand. What exactly are you looking for and please don't use terms like SQ, LSQ or anything like that but describe your goals.

My bad, still learning. My goals are to get loud enough to annoy people (even though i wont) and sound pretty good (not perfect sounding but real good). I also wanna save as much room as possible in my trunk, so I am thinking like maybe 3-4cuft of enclosure space. So I can fit some decent sealed subs in there or maybe 2 small ported subs. I am just not sure how they average out because I have heard only ported.

Right now I am looking at maybe 2 15's sealed (pushin it, may have to go with 12's) or maybe 2 10's or a single 15 ported (depending on what will fit). I will probably be going with Fi Q's.

I listen to lots of rap!!! and some heavy metal. (David Banner, Lil John, Korn, Slipknot, etc) so trying to get something that will work with everything.

Loud as possible and only 3cuft do not work together at all.

You beat me to editing my last post. Anyway, after reading over other peoples posts on Fi's section of the forum, I think I may sacrifice a little room and go with 2 10's ported. I think that is the only real way I can get decently loud and still save space. I figure that should still be "louder" than 2 12's sealed. Not to mention, even as 10's ported, they should KILL my P3's.

also, thanks for your help, like i said, i am newer to DIY car audio cause I am tired of getting junk from Best Buy etc.

Here is a pic of my IB setup when I was putting it in but has not changed that much except the wiring, it goes up to the rear deck with 4 12" infinity. There is 420wrms from the kicker and its not enough if you want to max them out, but is enough bass for me. It hits 30Hz like nothing. IB needs twice the drivers...or what I shoot for anyway, but I have lots of trunk room. The bottom of that baffle is right at the seat and top is back about 8" roughly. In fact I am thinking about taking it out and running two 15s to save more room as they will fit the seat opening, and these subs are heavy as *.

That looks pretty cool. Unfortunately after my discussion with M5, I decided I will probably be best off staying with my ported enclosures.
