Question about an IB setup

[dragnix 5,000+ posts]

For now i'm still deciding on which subs to go with for my infinite baffle install that i plan on doing. I've learned that in an IB set up the trunk space should accomodate for at least 4x Vas. My question is how accurate/necessary to have that. I want to do 2 15" setup, however, i don't think i have enough trunk space to accomodate 4x Vas for 2 15". So i just want to know if i can go with 2 15" even if I don't have the space for 4x Vas.

How close will you be to 4x Vas?

depends on whether i go with 1 or 2 15s. 1 would be closer than two...but not really all that close lol

So you dont even have 4x Vas for one of the subs?

lowest i could find is the mach5 at 94.4 liter...everything else that works in IB has ungodly high Vas

Do you think you're ears can tell the difference if it were 2x or 4x the vas of the subs???

or go with 2 AE 15s. They modeled in cvjoint's car nicely. Q = ~.7 in the trunk of his 2000 Accord coupe.

i don't know, that's why i'm asking you guys. But i would probably doubt it since i have no golden ears. Hell, i don't even think i have bronze ears //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

I was thinking about those, but something about 300+ liters of Vas makes me uneasy, especially in civic trunk.

Thanks for the help guys
