[QUOTE="maylar, post: 7783501, member: 541144"] It's called an infinite baffle (IB) install and it has both good and bad points. Good - You need much less power than any box install. Direct coupling to the cabin allows you to hear your subs even at low volume. Some subs can play ~very~ low IB. Bad - Difficult install, especially for a noob. Your rear deck needs to be rock solid, a plastic or fiber parcel shelf would just buzz uncontrollably. Gotta seal the trunk from the cabin, which means you need to deal with the car's ventilation system. I have an IB with 2 8's in my 85 Olds, but the rear deck is heavy sheetmetal and they only get 70 watts each. Sounds excellent for a daily driver. .. which is a bad idea for SQ. [/QUOTE]
