So, we all know that sub stages are comprised of a series of compromises. To get a good amount of output and sound quality,you need a lot of space, a lot of power, a high quality woofer, or any combination of the above.
Focusing specifically on the space/weight issue I have come up with a brilliant(or retarded) solution that im sure many have considered. Obviously when going IB one uses the entire trunk as the apparent enclosure, so why not use this same concept for a ported enclosure? If one goes through extensive work in sealing and reinforcing the trunk (using fiberglass, deadening, thicker trunk seals or what have be) can one theoretically separate the cabin from the trunk and simply add a port of the appropriate size fired into the cabin? Has anyone tried this?
The work involved may seem immense, but the benefits may be worth it for some us...I have searched with no avail...
P.S. In my case, this would be done with either three/four IDQ 12s or two IDQ 15s tuned VERY low //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif
