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 ****, 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.
