Got some great tips and ordered my system for the WRX, now I need to pick out an IB 10-12" for the S550 Mercedes. Huge trunk, stock sub is a shallow IB 8" that is just plain horrible. Local semi high-end shop did not recommend PG which I'm partial to but rather a safer bet that more people have IB experience with. They did not seem to be pushing me to by a product from them as they were more than happy with my selection of PG parts for the WRX for them to install.
They recommended the Focal Polyglass 11", any of the high end Boston Acoustic 10s, or the JL 10w6.
Any recs between these or others?

For an IB install. Image dynamics IDQ all the way. I havent heard the boston g5 but the g3's are nice, and i have heard the w6's and they are very nice. But i dont think either one compares to the IDQ.

anyone know how the RSDC's do in an IB? That might be a viable option

RSDCs wouldn't be great, since they need a small box to not sound boomy. The plain RSDs on the other hand do great in large boxes and IB configurations. The Xenons are even better at IB, though they would require dedicated midbass since they are such low end monsters.
IDQ's would be a good pick as well, for sure.
