Its not really an infinite baffle unless he rolls his windows down at all times.

@@Petethebuilder you are wrong, the infinite baffle is behind the cone, not in front. As long as the volume behind the cone is 10x of VAS it is technically infinite baffle

people dont understand how much 1 watt sensitvity makes a difference, car subs fall on there face with with thousands of watts in a large space because of of there super low sensitivty at 86-88 db. . . if you do the math the best car subs can hit about 118-120 db with about 1500 watts in half space[IE large area with no walls. near bye . ]. . , ,this more or less becomes another 12-20 db because of cabin gain in the car. . . this means 140db plus in the car, mean while pro audio with there 99db sensitivity and often hit 128db--134db] in a half space with a ussual 400-1000 watts. . . put that in a car [seldom people ever do] but if you were to in theeoy you would hit 154db with as low as 500-1000 watts . . and you should be able to keep up with 140db 1500 watt car systems with as little as 200-300 watts because of how sensitive Pro PA speakers are. . not sure if your ware but if i remeber correctly IB set is the lowest gain from cabinet possible. . if i remember correctly Infite baffle is 0db, sealed is +3db, ported is +6db, bandpass is +9db. . . [rember each 3db equal the equvilant to adding a compltely speaker, so a bandpass is 3 times as loud compared to a IB on the same exact wattage. . either way, super cool, super unique. . my only concern would be some one stealing it

Love this build i been wondering how can i build a good system without removing my back seat on my truck thanks for posting this video

[@renebethke7132]

You need to run a 3.5 mm jack to you deck from your cell via from a dongle from usb-c.. its now analog from there. it will deliver that much more clean signal to your sub. Trust me. .

what do i think ? haha i think you would piss off a ton of silly SQ boys in your video flexing paper with IB haha hey bro check out pssounds on here its a really cool guy named peter in europe with two 18 inch fi's in his car,he cut a hole in the floor and has them aimed down so the whole world is his enclosure,now his shit cam play at 10 hz and do hair tricks just for fun,but he's a world class champ with contests like meca and what ever,look at his builds for ideas,later man.

You right. But I'm on 5% the budget of that guy. and it's not a show vehicle haha. Literally a $500 setup. Solid bang for your buck ya know?

[@guitarman3100]

I love this, minimal space required and didn't need to cut a speaker sized hole in the back of cab and deal with reinforcing that. And the sq of infinite baffle!

[@FOH3663]

Very cool! I've got (4)Fi IB3-18s in an attic mounted IB in my home. Some additional info addressing that vibration; if you could go two drivers, dual opposed, with a vertical manifold blow thru, you wouldn't have that reactionary vibration bouncing off the pickup bed. Any box vibration at all is dimished bass clarity and detail. In a dual opposed, all reactionary energy is nulled. No offense intended, hell you likely already know this. Another way to tighten this install up is mount a cargo bar across, with an expandable bolt vertically... simply securing it to the bed.

[@JayyCobb]

I know your comment is old but by any chance is that system still active in your home? I am very interested in a walk-around video if possible!

[@FOH3663]

@@vincewyche3589 That's the thing, amplification with an IB isn't a big challenge. I use Behringer EP4000, high quality amplifiers aren't really needed. It only requires 300w per IB3-18 to hit full stroke... they're not fighting the box volume air spring that most all subs encounter.

[@kennylucerop]

if you actually sealed the real wave of the sub you would get real results. this is just wasting the potential of that sub. Its half ass ported to probably the high 30s low 40s being the spl peaks in the lows instead of having a flat response like ib show on the graph. its a good idea but its losing a lot of sq and spl because of the lack of a sealed real wave. still cool tho. being you put that much time into sealing it and sd it you should finish the back

[@nvmyutube]

I don't mean to come across as rude here but you clearly don't understand how I.B works.. Do some research and learn, still to this day the most impressive system i have ever heard was I.B done right.

So it can play what amount to low frequency test tones, but how's the sound quality? I bet it sucks.

[@FuskyTheHusky81]

I would be awesome to see a cab of a truck get reinforced and sealed to be used kind of like a box. its not perfect but it would give some interesting output. Also To be able to keep this as a infinite baffle it would need to be the same surface area as the cone leading into the cab or else your making a very short transmission line. Its way off tune but can raise the FS Of the Woofer 8-12 Hz losing Low-end output.

I have 8x IB318's in the ceiling of my home theater, and an Acoustic Elegance IB15AU in my car. I recently got a new truck and have been wondering how I can do a clean install with the IB. Very very very few people have attempted this, but IB gives extremely clean and low bass. I am all about sound quality, and I also use a MiniDSP in my car and theater. I'd really like to make this work in my truck but I haven't decided if I'm willing to cut through the back of my cab. Kudos to your IB truck install!

how do you even hear it when the sub is not even in the cab

[@GrimeTime203]

Never did infinite baffle sub always wanted a pickup but the idea of shoving a box in a limited amount of cabin space is why I never got one but this build here is awesome. Maybe I can get a pick up now. I like it it's dope and it looks like it's very musical I like lows but they don't have to be to that low I rather some thing in the middle. Nice build I know this is a old video but you just lit a light bulb in my head. Nice job.

[@hughiedixon1801]

This def looks like a ported setup

[@PBasschannel]

This is basically just separation of the sub's front sound wave from the back wave - needs just little power to be loud as hell - a dude from Finland had infinite baffle with 4 18s on 8K RMS, and he pushed 160+ dB, also he made a "tornado" on the 20ish frequencies. Also infinite baffle setup have practically zero group delay - so this is the best possible SQ subwoofer system in theory, but on the other hand, there is a need to be careful with the power because the sub's cone is practically not damped...so...

[@bassdrumflextime1253]

what the fuck is this

[@MFKitten]

One thought I always have with this kind of thing is that you necessarily lose some of the energy through the channel that it blows through, and the more rigid and dense you can make it, the more of the energy will make it into the cabin. With that said, I don't think that matters in something like this. Thing make car go boom!

[@happys104092243]

Just so you know. Skar under rates there amps. So that amp is more than likely pushing 1,000 RMS @ 2ohm's. I have the RP 1200.1 that clamps at 2,000 RMS @ 1ohm. Even there 350.1 is clamping 600 or more at 1ohm. But that is only if you have the power to feed the amp it's self. So if your only on stock alternator an upgrade battery that is not going to get full power out of the amp. You may not even be seeing 600 out of it on 2ohm

[@punksweeper4678]

If im not mistaken the manafold will still act as a filter and have resonances like a band pass box, but Its small enough that any of that should be well above the pass band.
