Infinite baffle. The trunk acts as an enclosure.

Because JL is the best right?

It's not an over-the-top custom job, but it's nice and simple, just the way I like it
Nice. I've never seen a 4th order bandpass for our cars before.

I wouldn't worry about the size of the subs as much as the quality, the BOX, and the power you're putting to them. DD's are great, had a 9515 in my old car and loved it, easily outperformed many multiple woofer setups. Getting a proper box for the sub(s) is easily as important as what speakers you're running. I've got an old school RE XXX 12" firing through the stock sub hole in the GS, I'd recommend sealing to the rear deck or a properly designed bandpass venting through the hole in the deck for maximum output and minimum rattle if your setup allows. Here's a pic of mine just because I'm happy with the way it turned out .

Do any of you guys running IB, have any build threads or photos of the work you put in? I've tried searching in DIYMA, but I can only find one GS IB setup and the picture links are long gone.

Picking up a '00 GS300 Friday for my fiance, and I'm trying to put together a simple system for it, as she doesn't really care, but I do. 2-way passive front stage, rear fill, and IB subs. Must keep the urge to go active down.
