February 6, 201510 yr I'm doing (2) 12" build with (2) XXX in the trunk of my Grand Prix. I have 4k..Should I go closer to 2 cubes each?
February 7, 201510 yr Author Are they close to original softparts? If so I have the T/S at home on BBPro6... I can look when I get back this weekend, I am in Springfield Ohio working right now...
February 22, 201510 yr What a great setup! Very nicely done! Do you think I could use my 2 Xcon 12s to build a similar home theater sub? They are not fetching squat $ used anymore, so I might as well enjoy them.

February 23, 201510 yr The Xcon is a very nice driver, but does not have the XBL^2 technology to handle IB like the XXX. You could possibly look into building nice HT cabinets or towers for them to get the best sound
February 23, 201510 yr Author IB suitability doesn't really have anything to do with the XBL^2 technology, but the other parameters of the driver. In fact, the (first/second generation) 18" XXX is really the only one that shines in IB due to it's high overall Qts... The 10", 12", and 15" versions won't work quite so well as they all have lower Qts... The higher Qts is needed as the driver won't self dampen and require equalization to remain somewhat flat...
February 23, 201510 yr Author If I were to go IB and had to buy new drivers, FI IB3 would be my first choice, 2nd choice the Parts Express Dayton 15" IB subwoofer...
April 8, 201510 yr How much does placement effect IB compared and to standard ported or sealed setup? My closet ceiling is a neat square that could easily accommodate up to three or four 18's (small room, not needing that much lol) but it's across the room from where my woofer is currently; been wondering how to even figure it out.
April 9, 201510 yr Author The room behaves the same. So if you have a huge null in an area you are listening in, IB won't make a difference, especially if it loads from the same area...
April 9, 201510 yr The room behaves the same. So if you have a huge null in an area you are listening in, IB won't make a difference, especially if it loads from the same area...I was thinking take one of my tens and put it in a sealed box, all over the room while I'm at listening position to see how well it would do mounted in various locations.
