The "specs" you copied tell me nothing about how the sub will perform. I consider those more "features" and features mean very little. If you go to the link and download the manual, it will give you the Thiele/Small parameters. You want to look at the Qts (.578 which is great) and the xmax (5.25 which sucks).

Yes, this sub and all subs will work in an IB configuration. How well they work depends on their T/S parameters. This sub will go past its linear limits with only a few watts of power. I would not use this sub in any application.
