take out the back seat and to an IB or just seall off the trunk and build a box in place of the back seat.

:blink: This is why Fi has their IB3 series. Subs made specifically for Infinite Baffles.

Bro, since you already have the sub, I would say build a sealed box, and test it out. I highly doubt any of these people on here saying "don't do it!" has probably never done it, or heard a 18" BTL sealed. But they may have..I don't know, I just doubt it. I agree with Forevrbumpn though. Just experiment and try it out. What's the worse that can happen? You don't like how it sounds, you wasted like a day or so, and like $30. If it does sound good, and you like it, you didn't waste a day, or any money and you have yourself your box. I say test it out before you throw the idea out. Just my opinion..
