So... Correct me if I'm wrong.

You'll get a louder bass response from small speakers if they're mounted in the trunk, facing the rear of the car?

Would this be louder to the ear than IB style in the rear deck? Or just to the meter?

ah, another KCMO'er. Welcomez!

The answer to your question is not necessarily. I can tell you though, that IB setups are NOT ideal if you're wanting to go loud. However, paired with the right driver and a good install, they're hands down some of the best sounding setups I have ever heard.

As for box placement, it's heavily vehicle and install dependent.

Well, my situation here's interesting - I want a good loud car atm (relatively - obviously not going to set any records) - I'm on an extremely tight budget, I was going to get subwoofers, either some sundown e8's or some RD subs, but I have damage to my car from the last ice storm, slid into a curb off a hill, and my budget was just crushed from my quote for the repairs (My budget's gone downhill for months now -.-).

So, I'm looking at using some 6x9 speakers, that I was going to sell, but can't find anyone who will give me more than $30 out of them, and I feel I'd rather just keep them for that price. I have a hifonics amp, and I want to hook up the 6x9's into the trunk into a sealed box each, and low pass them @ 200hz or so, since they're primarily mid-bass woofers, and high pass my rear speakers @ 80hz. Giving me a nice good kick bass from the rear of my car. Definitely not good for a sound stage, but if I'm on a budget, I'm picking loud and not-so-good SQ over quiet and barely decent SQ.

In my old car, I had the 6x9's mounted IB style in my rear deck, but my mounting slots are too small, and I have some decent pioneer's mounted there too, so I wanted to see about getting more volume with a sealed box in the trunk for the two of them. I was thinking about attempting to mount them under the seats, still low passed, but I don't have the room.

I want no audiophiles commenting on all this -.-

And KC's a cool place. Nice to see several others from the area on here.

Also: Before I forget, it's an Infiniti G20, standard trunk vehicle, similar to the accord's/camry's/altima's you see.
