    I would go for quality bass and just build it as an IB.

    You also won't need anywhere near 3K watts for a ported sub to achieve excursion limits of those subs. Maybe in a sealed box, but ported or IB you can get by with way less.

    Just my .02,

    Jesus Jumpin Christ!!!!!!!, that sub will be friggin rediculous. definitly keep us posted on the progress.

    would those drivers be overkill for an IB application? I allready know 3000 watts would be way to much for IB.
