[QUOTE="GemaRastem, post: 2481259, member: 560007"] Cons of IB, like said before power handling will go down, but you will actually be able to hit lower if you properly eq the setup because you can safely go down to the woofers fs. Also, they are quite hard to setup because you have to seal the front of the woofer off from the back of the woofer. This takes a lot of time and effort. The other con is you usually need quite a bit of surface area for it to get loud, because the efficiency of an IB setup isn't as good as sealed or ported boxes. pros-You do save trunk space, it sounds amazing, you don't have to worry as much about backwave distortion. Your transcience is almost perfect depending if you choose the proper woofer. Have you looked into an aperiodic setup? That is what I'm running and it helps with the power handling con, and pretty much eliminates backwave distortion.
