Lightweight system in rear deck...suggestions?

[sportyaccordy 10+ year member]

I have a '93 Accord sedan, and I'm looking to replace my current setup (Kole HK1920+ 2 Comp VR 12's) with something a lot lighter, less powerful, but cleaner. I was thinking of cutting into the rear deck, and hanging a regular 10" enclosure off the hole w/some L-brackets, or making a wood baffle for an IB 8" or 10"...

So basically I'm just looking for suggestions...anyone know any good IB? I'm gonna search for them now, but suggestions would be helpful. Should I just rip an OEM IB setup from a junkyard? I've heard some good ones (Lexus has some good ones, as did Jeep w/their Infinity systems). I wanna keep it light and low profile, with a somewhat flat or "loose" (around 40-50Hz) sound and good efficiency. What should I do? My budget is prob. $100 or so for an 8" or 10"...shoot.

i've seen it in a car exactly like yours before, he had 2 10s in there and when you open the trunk the boxes where fiberglass it was clean and it sounded pretty good it kinda looked like he had 2 bazooka tubes turned upside down fiberglassed and painted

Good luck finding a lexus at a salvage yard. You'll probobally have to make the IB yourself

dude. get a pair of these, put them on lowpass - IB in the rear deck (with some sound deadening id imagine) and give them 100~150 watts of clean power.

Wow those 6.5's look good...I might really have to look into those.

Anyone have an idea of how much a shop would charge for my project? Just a regular 1.0CF or so 10" enclosure hanging onto the rear deck w/L brackets...I'd do it myself, but I like the insurance of a shop doing it, and with what I'd have to spend on tools I'd prob. have to spend the same $$$ anyway...anyone know?
