As stated in the previous posts ,they are cool ,but for me it came when I was playing music be it Pink FLoyd or Metallica they stayed right with the bass without any effort .I am using 4 12's from Gr-research ( I know there are better drivers out there) I had a hard enough time selling what I have to the wife .Mine are attic mounted in a manifold centered above the plasma .I tried my old sub and then with the I/B and it was night and day difference and then try turning the sub off even at lower volumes and it is amazing at the output of an I/B .Some day I may jump up to 15's but I don't have a super huge room so for now the 12's will do just fine .Once I have time to finish REW and get the BFD dialed in it should help alot .As for noise through out the house it is actually less ,granted you can still hear/feel the bass at hi volumes ,but the attic has a ton of insulation ,also for the big sealed box my manifold is about 10-12 feet away from a vent that is 18'' x 24'' so it isn't totally sealed .As for sounds outside I have played both the old sub and the I/B and there really isn't much difference .The best thing about the I/B is if someone doesn't know it is there they are really impressed with the mains My brother came over and wanted me to play some of his death meatal to compare it with his bose system and it rocked his world .I may now be biulding another I/B .I now notice jagman is in Sacramento we may have to try and hook up and compare systems and note.All I can say is I am hooked and need some AA help according to the wife .Take it easy all and I will keep everyone updated in the BFD/REW thread I have if I get some time to run it this weekend .Ron
