25 years ago we did 2 12” pioneer free air in a Beretta. The baffle was across the entire back seat rest. It hit real low with that big trunk.

I also loved the Berettas. They were definitely one of the coolest car back then.

@odogrollin Месяц назад

If you decide to do infinite baffle again, my suggestion would be too frame out the opening of your trunk. That way you can mount your baffle to it. You will get significantly better bass response, and that s p l number will come up significantly

@Mantoollingo Месяц назад

That is not infinite baffle. You have to completely seal off the front wave from the back wave, the side with the towels and the amplifier gap is not sealed, and then the deck lid is not sealed either. Best results would be to completely seal the baffle and run with the truck open for true ib, this is just free air. I do like the videos and style of testing you do. You always keep things interesting and fun to watch with videos like this!

@dreci3001 Месяц назад

I like the Battlefield theme, brings up memories. Nice production, from all the boxes that can be built, IB is the least $$$ in terms of material, but renders the trunk of a daily useless....and probably loss of 3 seats. In home audio IB sounds shy on bass, but cabin gain does wonders. Great video. P.S. As I have written before, get that SPL meter out of the foot well, bass-waves are long for a car, but stuff in the cabin reflects differently, so get it close to head high, not on the window, but close to head high. P.P.S. I almost mixed IB and OB, IB requirements for a wall of 2x18" in a trunk has maybe 30% of size required for baffle size, the trunk cutout is severely smaller than what an IB requires, bass is still longer than car, so you can use trunk as a box, making it OB, which 18" love as sealed boxes using the trunk volume. IB has a huge WxH measures baffle depending on speaker size. With all the losses you have a 4-6BP box with or higher order, depending how sealed the car is.

Last year I built an infinite baffle subwoofer setup in my old 2000 Toyota Corolla, with a twist. I used eight 6.5” 8 ohm woofers from PartsExpress that were $8 each. They were ran off of a D4S JP8. The baffle was completely sealed. I used aluminum duct tape to seal holes and a little spray foam here and there. It had useable output down to 30hz with output going down to 25hz, but it was dropping off really fast at that point. It sounded like a couple of cheap 10” subs in the trunk, but took up zero trunk space. I’ve got a video on my channel showing it.

@philipeli1192 Месяц назад

I had an 88 Mazda sedan with 2 10 and 2 8 pioneer free air subs on the rear deck powered by Profile amps 300 watts each. At the time it was very good and loud enough to be my work car for years.Love your video, looks like you need to seal the area on the sides as much as possible,a better center brace would help you too. Love that amp power,I have an sdr 18 in a sealed 3.0ft box in my home theater!

I'm running two 18" Peavey Black Widows IB with a front sub in the glove box area. 2005 Ford Focus. I would like to try a ported setup but IB just sounds to good. So fast and accurate. Esp. when it's t/A (time aligned) When I watched one of Matt Bogardt's videos (of Image dynamics); he said to build an IB baffle with five sides for strength. So essentialy an enclosure without the rear panel. I just built a super stout baffle and used 3/4" hardware to secure it directly to the car. There is little to no vibration. It's so musical it's really hard to go back to boxes. I'll admit I do miss my wall.

@BudgetBassHead- What setup sounds the best, the SDR infinite Baffle, or the 2-12" passive radiator setup? I would have liked, to have seen, SPL scores, @ 20 Hz, 25 Hz, and you skipped over 35 Hz, with this EVL infinite Baffle setup. Great video❤️

@BudgetBassHead Месяц назад

Thanks for pointing that out. I would have to say that the SDR setup sounded better. The trade-off would be losing access to the trunk from the inside of the car, and back seat-down listening only.

@evilinside5984 Месяц назад

@@BudgetBassHead - Also this Infinite Baffle setup had a very flat bandwidth, doing a 142 Db @ 30 Hz, and a 143.9 Db @ 50 Hz= very flat. I bet if you drive around playing/breaking these subwoofers in for a few weeks, then ✔️ the Db again, but @ 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, and 60 Hz, to show how flat the bandwidth is, would be great to see. I hope you consider this, plus would be great to get your opinion, on how they sound different after being broke in.

@Laserred01 27 дней назад

I'd say the EVL has too low of a Q to be good for infinite baffle. The SDR has a Qts of .69 which is pretty close to ideal. I'd also bet the SDRs will beat the EVLs in SQ (which is usually why you do IB in the first place) and probably match DB (especially down low) to the EVLs even with much less power. That is... once you get that setup properly sealed off. But yeah, not bad for just throwing a board in the trunk with some subs attached! I really want to make one of these setups in my 'stang although the PR setup I have (1-12"/2PR) is hard to beat for a small box.

Unfortunately if the rear of the subwoofer is not absolutely, and completely sealed off from the front part of the subwoofer, I mean COMPLETELY SEALED NO HOLES. Its not infinite baffle. Because the wave that the subwoofer creates can not be able to make its way to the front of the subwoofer. It can if there is a hole.

You really should unplug from the internet for awhile, clearly it will do you some good. Or, if you cant possibly do that, maybe try some educational videos on spelling and basic sentence construction (heres a hint: start at kindergarten). Go from there to some "basic math" courses and keep going (you can do it!), as you think this hobby is just that, and have no idea the sound physics, geometry, and multiple formulas, and calculation that are needed in a lot of actual car audio construction and planning. Oh, and as an aside, you are a crazy person. Just letting you know.
