Depending how everything goes and if I lose the patience with an IB (hard to do i imaine), I may try to do something similar to your setup. But then again, I have two cars that need systems at the moment, could try both setups, one in each vehicle. How does that setup sound acidburn? I imagine good. I googled a bunch of pics of setups like yours and they all look great. The coolest one had more work than i wanna do, but they had the subs going up through the rear panel and it actually ported into the trunk. But they had a bunch of other work to it like neons and plexiglass, more complications than I can handle, lol.

Wow, I have never even thought to have looked at it that way. My eyes are slowly opening to SQ setups more and more. Oh, I went and checked out your build acidburn, looked pretty cool. did you ever build a shelf to put around the subs to give it a "nicer" look? I def. do like that also, I bet it saves a ton of room and sounds great. I thought about what you said...you are probably right, being my first SQ setup it is probably to much to jump into a 3 way active setup. So I will start smaller and learn about 2-ways and learn, then build up and learn more.

I can defin. tell i have never heard an sq setup.... seems odd not having any rear speakers, lol.

Well, it hit me today. I am droppin the original idea of doin 2 10" BLs in my setup and playin with my girls....all this talk just made me want to do it in my car, so she is gonna have to hold off. Sub location: The trunk is obviously the best place to do this. Thinkin about 2 15" Q's made for IB. Rear Speakers: How do I set these up, am I just gonna have a simple comp set in the back? 2 or 3-way? Front: Obviously I am gonna need midbass, midrange, and highs up here. Due you have any preferences as to each of the 3 things I am gonna need. I also need to start coming up with a shopping list of items to buy....keeping in mind I am gonna run a Kenwood DVD touchscreen HU. I will be installing extra bat and cap in with the normal battery in the spare tire well, amps will go on top in a hingeable plateform so I can keep my spare tire and have easy access to it. BEAUTIFUL CAR!

lol, says page in Forbidden. As for the odd install, yeah, just a sealed enclosure with subs going up into the car itself, and the rest of the box is in the trunk. Looks odd. That aside, I decided to def. go active. I was reading some about it in an older Car Audio & electronics mag and think I can figure it out once it is all installed and going.

ahh, sad, your inspiration pic didn't post for some reason. I was checkin out the H701 late last night, and considering I really want a Kenwood touchscreen, that price is workable for the H701. I will just hold off an extra month before getting new rims. Also, is midbass pretty much only really good for IB setups? What I mean is, I have 2 12's ported in another vehicle with just 2-way 6x8's running up front. I am thinkin of swappin these out for a simple comp set, but would adding midbass instead of just mids make this sound better? If i confusing midbass and mids and they are really the same thing, sorry. That aside, I saw an odd install and have a quick question about. This guy installed 2 subs, 12s or 15s, where the rear panel usually sits. But instead of just having them hang there, it is build into something like a 3cuft enclosure. Is this basically a sealed setup or would it fall into a different category, just looked weird. He plexiglassed it in the trunk and all you could see are two huge magnets hanging down, lol.

Eh, kind of feel that way about the 07 and 08's, not nearly as nice, but i do need a daily driver. To scared to be honest, dont want to take a risk of driving everyday with the '69, to much could happen. A heads up, I have been tossin around a lot in my head and think I may be tryin an IB setup in my car now, loud bass is fun and all, but I think I want a very loud overall car that will still sound great. So I will probably be makin a new thread soon asking about setting up an active crossover and such.

LOL, I will have to ask my father about that one. I am more of the "creative" thinker and he is the more automotive one. I think I will just stay with my touchscreen dvd player and add an external crossover. I would really enjoy the sleek look of a touchscreen and also think a crossover would look pretty nice as well.

Is there a nice dvd touchscreen that has active crossover capabilities. This stuff is going in a 08 charger SRT. I also have a '69 charger that I am debatin puttin a very small system in, but that comes later as well as hookin up my Dad's 07 sublime Charger Daytona. As you can see, we are charger fanatics. Soon as all the systems are installed, I will be workin on restorin a 72 charger that my grandfather picked up at a junkyard in NC.

I dont think we have enough room to put in 4 10's, maybe 3. If that were the case, 2 15's would probably work the same "magic". I asked in another thread about running active crossovers in order to have midbass/mids, etc.

So all adjustments are made with the head unit? I am getting ready to pick up a new headunit soon, Kenwood DVD touchscreen, the 7000 series one. I might be able to handle that, I am just worried of physically setting something up wrong and setting frequencies....dont wanna destroy stuff. If you have a link or something that I can read up on how to do all this, I would love to do it.

oh, if i get the courage to try in my girls car, I will probably do an IB with 2 15's.

I would like to go active, but I have no clue how to do any of that, if the shop could do it for me, I would love to. Here there are lots of benifits from going active.

No, that money does not include deadening. I have tons of that left over from my girls explorer...overshot by about 260sq ft, lol. It is a suped up charger. Right now pushin little over 600 horses. I will be doin most of the deadener myself, but will probably have a shop do the actual driver installs. I debate so many setups cause I am still tryin to figure out what will be best for me and what I listen to. I love loud bass but would also like it to be clean as well. Reason I looked at the IB is cause I was told it can sound amazing if done correctly also saving tons of space in the back. I saw one setup I wish i could have heard, it was 2 15's and barely touched takin up room in the trunk.
