[QUOTE="Electrodynamic, post: 7355001, member: 548723"] The rear deck in the TL comes from the factory already completely sealed off from the trunk. The left and right rear speakers have covers behind them that seal them off from the rest of the trunk. And immediately below all of the speakers in the rear deck is a full width and length metal divider that separates and seals off the rear deck from the trunk. Yes it is flat to/below 20 Hz. We may have the TL back up to the shop on Friday and I will RTA her car and post the results. There are two mentalities on IB installs. One is to seal up every nook and cranny and have it COMPLETELY sealed off. The other is to not worry about all of that and simply put in a baffle. I did the latter in this install as there is a ~1" gap between the top of the baffle and the bottom of the rear package tray. It had to be that way in order to get the baffle to fit so close. I made a plate to seal up that gap in case the response was not as desired (AKA: if the LFE suffered any at all). The piece I made is still sitting in the shop because the response is clean down to, and below, 20 Hz. [/QUOTE]
