[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8871208, member: 591582"] IB can sound good with the right sub, but a single 8" IB isn't a ton of bass, like it can't be that much power going to that sub, and IB loudness is basically xmax and cone area, because pressure isn't built like ported or others, and an 8 isn't going to have much of either one of those stats. I'd base bass quality off what type of music you listen to. If you're willing to do an enclosure, it'll almost certainly be louder. Most people say they want quality, but there's a ton of different enclosure types for bass that match up with what people tend to listen to better or worse. IB is probably one of the best for all around sound, but it really has its limitations. JL tends to make high quality stuff, but it's super expensive, too. I'd run a ton of JL if I could haha. High quality sound comes more from all the things outside of the equipment, IMO, you just need equipment that matches your needs. Tuning a system can go very far. And I'm not aware of a JL sub that is designed for IB, although you can run any sub IB if you're brave enough or have low enough power applied, but a designed IB capable sub would be best IMO for IB. Doing equalizing and time alignment, etc, and box designing are all good ways to learn sound without like having to tear your car apart. [/QUOTE]
