Video Request: 2 18's in a sealed enclosure

[OneBigHoe]

Hello, I'm getting back into car audio after a hiatus. I'm looking to do a build in my MK5 Jetta. An idea I'm toying with is 2 18's sealed in the trunk. I should be able to just squeeze in enough space for subs forward. This idea originally started as 2 18" in an IB set up but being a basshead at heart I'm worried the IB set up won't live up to what I want.

I know the simple answer is a set of 12's in 3-4 cu ft between 32-35hz, but I'd like to step outside of the box a little bit. Im just short on room to fit 2 15's and a 8" aero port facing subs forward/port forward, so this is my last ditch effort to make large cone subs work in my application.

Hoping to see some videos of 2 18"s sealed or 2 15"s sealed. Suv, truck, hatch, trunk, I'd like to see them all! Thanks in advance.

Do you happen to have a video?

I'm thinking 2 DC Level 4 18's on around 3-4k. Either stock soft parts or PSI soft parts

Geeze, 2 18’s in a Jetta trunk? That’s like Ron Jeremy in a 16 year old, probably not gonna fit!

He pops the trunk towards the end, pretty cool!

I have seen that one, I believe he is ported though? I thought I combed through the comments. There is one more of 2 DC lvl 3 18's.

Ported, sealed, relative to the goal/drivers. Could really do it up and go with 4 18's, ported in an Isobaric load, man oh man!

4 of these Isobaric (compound) loaded, in a 3 cubic foot box...

A while back I saw a YT video of 2 18" Skar subs in a trunk IB.
Found it-

Yet the highest scoring SQ cars in the world run IB setups.. Your books didn't tell you that?

I don't believe anything in the DC lineup is really fit for running sealed alignment.

IF you're just looking to cram as much cone area into as small airspace as possible you can brute force reasonably loud with pretty much anything. Do what you like.

You should be able to go to You Tube and the like to view quite a few Vids on 18" subs???? Stepping up would be ideal for a single sub game changer??
