First IB install
 
Just looking for some pointers from anyone who has done an IB install before. The car is a 2000 civic SiR coupe and I'm planning on using a pair of IDQ 12s in an IB (really big sealed box) build. Anything I need to be aware of I think I have the basic concept of sealing the trunk/baffle as good as humanly possible but is there anything else I should be aware of?

I only had one IDQ12 and less power before so I'm expecting at least the same output.:)

no pointers, but when it's in, sit back and enjoy the sub 25hz :) :)

Seal seal seal...and a very stiff, strong baffle! Careful with the volume knob, and use a subsonic(infrasonic) filter to protect the sub from over excursion.

Thanks for the fast reply guys! Obviously thicker is better but will 1.5" baffle do the trick? I'm still debating weather I should weld up a steel frame for it as well.

1.5 might be alright depending on the size of the baffle (height,width) the stiffer the better (insert wife joke here) so if welding up a steel frame is feasible, then by all means, do er up.
