[QUOTE="ladysmanfelpz, post: 8149695, member: 642267"] Thats exactly it! See I love subs and know they can make the heart of the system and thats why my original design was based around a well powered quality sub. But I thought the car had a center fold to open up for a good port to bring the sound into the cabin, but it doesn't. So that means I would have to drive around with the 40 split down like I did in my subaru. That just brings in extra road noise from the trunk and I'm an adult now and don't want to be driving around with my car all modded out and since its a coupe I really can't give up any more seats and space just for my system. So if I kept a sleeper look like I am after, that means having the sub in the trunk but blocked off from the cabin and I really don't see much of a gain with that compared to nice 6x9's that will provide accurate bass and where you can feel the air moving instead of it being locked in the trunk. So now to the infinite baffle set up. I do want my bass to have some boom and my understanding is if I can seal off the trunk completely then the whole trunk will act as a box and provide a good sound. I do not know if this is possible though. So what is this board you are talking about on the rear deck? Like I said if I could have two of those lil 6x9 boxes with polyfill and mount them flush on the rear deck (which would be difficult since the design is a lil whack) and screw into them from the top when mounting the speakers, I think that would provide a decent sound and be a nice box size for an 8" cone area. Now if I could mount the board below the rear deck and fab up a box of 1/2 or 3/4 MDF to not strain the rear deck too much, then that would be like having a sealed box with two 8's in it firing at the rear window to reverberate the sound and give some nice bass.
