If I remember correctly, Richard Clark did this in either a late 80’s Buick Grand National or a Ford Thunderbird, back in the late 89’s early 90’s. He was the king of SQ back then. Won tons of trophies from IASCA sound competitions for several years. He perfected the system by going to an aperiodic set up for the subs. This requires a semi-permeable membrane that again if I remember correctly was the rear panel of the enclosure. He then further perfected it by coming up with his own product that went over the face of the sub like a grill. Apparently it allowed for an almost ideally damped response curve. He used 15” subs, with the speed of 8” subs and nearly flat response down to 20HZ. His system was compromised of (2) waveguide horns under the dash, (2) 10” mid/mid-bass, and (2) 15” subs. (3) Alpine 250 watt x2 amps to power the speakers. Back in the day it was considered the best of the best. Love what you are doing, keep it up.

[@hadbl12]

Explain what “speed” of an 8 inch sub means. A 15 inch sun playing at 33htz moves 33 times per second. A 8 inch sub playing 33 hertz also moved 33 times per second? So how is one sub faster than the other? I’m not trying to be a smart azz, just trying figure it out!

[@michaelboner5118]

When referring to “speed” of an 8” sub. It is reference of what also may be called attack & decay. How fast a speaker starts and stops when producing a frequency. Attack is how quick it starts, decay is how slow it stops. Due to sheer size\mass differences between an 8” and 15” sub, the 8” will start and stop quicker. With an aperiodic style enclosure, this dampens the speaker in an ideal way. It helps large subwoofers stop much faster. In essence you can select a slightly higher crossover frequency as the larger sub will react with less unfavorable effects. Ie. say 80-100HZ versus 50-60HZ for a 15” sub. Hopefully this helps with my initial statement.

[@Drunken_Hamster]

What's the deal with horns? I hear a compression horn can act as a mid and tweeter simultaneously and highpass from like 400hz up. Is it in any way possible to have an SQ setup that's 3-way (sub, midbass, and whatever, or sub, mid, and tweeter) that gets 145-155db on the sub stage with the front stage more or less keeping up with it? (more for the low side of that SPL, less for the high side) Size constraints are a small single cab truck with a manual trans (so no speakers in the kick), and I only want to use AT MOST half my truck bed for the blow-through box(roughly 16.5 tall x 40 wide x 36 long/deep dimensions, can extend to 17 tall x 52 wide, but only 20 deep if doing a slot loaded IB blow through with three SI SQL-15s). I'd really prefer than nice round 150, and 155 is about my soft tolerance limit for bass. Haven't heard a 160+ car yet from the inside and kinda don't care if I do since that's not a goal of mine.

[@ShaahidJohnson]

@@Drunken_HamsterTitanium Diaphragm compression drivers play a higher frequency and can be used without a tweeter. A phenolic diaphragm compression driver can be used to play the midrange frequency’s. Titanium Diaphragm (1500hz and Up) Phenolic Diaphragm (500 and Up)

I did 4 12” Fi IB subs in a 90’s Cadillac Fleetwood using this method. I went way further though and cut the entire rear deck out and built everything up with MDF and use expanding urethane foam to fill the quarter panels to seal the trunk from the cabin. It played lower than any other system I ever built and only needed 500w per sub. Still my favorite build ever. Not many people know much about infinite baffle designs and there advantages.

I love the simple look in addition to the retained trunk space. That sounds like a win to me. I remember back in the 80’s and early 90’s that was a pretty common set up.

You might could gain a point or two by sealing the baffle with spray foam. Line all surfaces with aluminum foil to protect carpet and such, then foam around perimeter. To answer your question, YES I would do this and actually considered doing it with those subs. Another idea I had was to do a B-pillar wall with 4 single 4ohm 18"s, such as Rockville RVW1800 or Dynavox 18"s. Woofers are about a hunerd bucks a copy and don't need a ton of power to get loud.

[@xguy7577]

Yo man, I really like all you do. This build brings some ideas to mind. I think a double baffle and brace could improve sturdiness. And just to protect the subs from things in the trunk; leave it open back, but add somewhat of a tunnel box only about 8 inch. Then add vibration deadening to the back side. Just some thoughts, I tinned to over think things.😅

Never done infinite baffle, but my understanding always was they’re great for SQ, less power handling and raw db than other enclosure choices. Your results seem to match that. I’ve hit 135 on 500 watts before but I doubt mine would play as wide a range as an infinite baffle setup would.

[@TimpBizkit]

Although a large ported box with a low tuning will sound similar with extra headroom in the bass extension, or just adding a pipe that treats the trunk as a slightly leaky ported box and have a 15Hz tuning. The low resonance won't cost you output up higher either compared to the same infinite baffle. Whilst you can use your trunk space, it will restrict the sound a bit.

[@yeahright528]

That's badass dude! This is my first time seeing something like this. Sounds great!

30 years ago I did a IB setup with a couple pioneer 12's in a accord. the main issue was rattling the crap out of the trunk exterior. With the same subs in a 4th order bandpass through the rear deck and it was the most amazing experience. Literally raise your hair with the sunroof open and no rattles on the car 20-80hz. Can't compete with your trunk space though!

This is the build, you just take them outside first and set it to 5 and let it rumble the neighborhood with a low vibe; quote a box price of $8000 and from the look on their face adjust the price/bass accordingly. If they wrap their legs around you and kiss ya, then you turn the bass way down of course; all negeotions first before romance....

[@theejoeylee]

Fantastic set-up!! The more you seal off the trunk from the cabin, the louder it will be. The combined VAS for those woofers is only 4 cubes shy of the impalas trunk volume. Shoud hit Fs of 24hz, & easily play subsonic frequencies below 20hz with authority!!

[@JasonWW2000]

To make it more functional you can put a piece of expanded steel mesh across the back (same size as baffle board) and some black grill cloth. Then you can throw anything in the trunk and the subs stay protected.

@@666Necropsy The first time I tested a dipole sub with some super crappy 12" in a small room, I was instantly amazed because of the details. Even though the sub was totally busted. I kept thinking about it and ultimately got a car that had a trunk that was almost like made for having a sub in the middle. Did an install with good 12" sub and fell in love about the idea where there is no enclosures (for the bass at least). Then after years I got two 18" Electro-Voice DL18MT's, old 90's PA subs for cheap and just fitted them on a big board. I tested them outside, as I'd been dreaming of a sub bass capable small(ish) PA -system that doesn't make the neighbours or anyone living nearby mad (even at like multiple miles away). Nowadays I myself pretty much hate the overly high SPL -oriented cars blasting some single note bass songs nearby. So I can imagine how it would feel waking up or noticing a bumping bass when you're going to sleep that just keeps on playing forever (in your usual forest raves, from 10pm to like 6am+). For example one time we had just one simple big Peavey 2x18" PA sub enclosure and in the beginning of the night a few of my friends went close to the nearest house, more than a mile away (which also was behind a small hill) to check if the bass carries to there and when they got out of the car to listen, they said it sounded like there had been a party going in the nearby house. I've tested the two 18" in a large wooden building and they went nicely down to 20 something Hz. One time I took them to a DJ gig in a really old bar in a wooden building. There I had some problems with uneven bass as I didn't have enough time to EQ the system. I also had a pair of 15" "modern" car subs and they too sounded great outside WITHOUT an enclosure. And I bet the bass couldn't be heard after like 50 meters or so, but the first 10-20 were very nice. Inside an aparment they would shake the floor with Indigo Children (JLE Dub). When I had the system in my car, I noticed that on the outside, the bass seemed to attenuate on the sides of the car, which makes sense as it worked kinda like a dipole. So I think one can blast their music much louder with a free air/infinite baffle sub system than they can with any enclosure without messing with the people around.

I've considered doing an infinite baffle in my rear deck with smaller drivers, only because I need both the trunk space and the passthrough into the cabin to be able to haul stuff around for work. I'm also considering a shallow transmission line mounted to the underside of the rear deck, but I'm concerned about how a shallow, wide line would perform. Those two 18"s look killer, though! Have you played it with the seats up, yet? :D

It sounds like crap with seats up. Almost becomes a fourth order bandpass. Rattles the trunk like crazy, but about a 50% loss of sounds in the cabin. I have to crank the power to hear it properly, which these subs can't handle. I would need the ZVX-18's to play with the seats up.

[@jerk5828]

love your videos my man. Great work as aleways

[@jcwindevillose]

Bro I sure wish I would had this year’s ago with my five hundred. Major props to you

[@Laserred01]

I considered doing this with 2 15s to save weight & space but instead made a pair of small (about .7cuft ea)10" boxes with Infinity Kapppas (selectable impedence). Plenty loud at about 1000W but haven't tested spl yet. Recently modded the boxes with slaps 10" radiators. Definately louder and retains the SQ of a sealed system! I'd love to try this IB setup some time with the proper drivers!

I've got a spare SDR18 in storage, now I know what to do with it, thank you. They do sound good down low, for sure.

[@Red-uf4hr]

I’ve always wanted to do a wall build like that. Awesome work and video.

[@xxmeanyheadxx]

i was trying to decide how you would pull off an infinite baffle in an suv but then... yeah it's a wall lol.

[@halseyballistic]

Bad ass ! Always like the free air set up!

[@gordiefrench5342]

looks killer in your truck from the front as well as the back great job sir

[@stevemaniaci4750]

Awesome idea ,an those motors are ample for a build like that plenty ,an great amount cone area . I'm excited as well. It should turn out impressive with a nice seal around the baffle . Love your channel thanks for posting .

[@drbooming]

Great job buddy 🙌

[@BurningDownUrHouse]

Great video quality, commentary and editing! I love Skar audio as well very good job man.

[@memelorddavid2938]

OMG!!! DUUUH just use your trunk AS A SUB BOX!! THIS IS GENIUS!!! now I wanna do this.

[@DieLon716]

🤯🤯🤯 that sounded real good

[@gregphillips.1312]

My Brother made a "Stealth Shelf" in his 1983 XR4i, basically an Infinite Baffle using the Boot (Truck) space as the Box and fitted 2 6x9's, powered off a Clarion Headunit, this was in 1990 ish and it just sent me down the car audio rabbit hole. I'm still upgrading my daily rides as I replace them!

[@fleuriejeanpierre]

I really like the design and concept to maximize boot space an still have good sound, I'm in!!!

[@618kustomz]

Very well done and professional quality video.

[@Yoooshtive]

Love this, might have to try it out

[@stormyyoung6344]

Nice build and as allways a outstanding video

[@elehughwilson4827]

I’m doing mines that way this weekend. I always like my deck when I have it in my caprice but was skeptical about doing one in my optima till I seen u do this and it just motivated me but I’m going with free air subs. 2-15s

[@CoquiAudio]

in Puerto Rico 80's we use to do that a lot too sound just as good 😊

[@cesarlemathepowerofsound614]

Amazing and nice subwoofer bro ✌️

[@josequinones297]

This has always been my go to install for saving my trunk space! Always sounds amazing!

[@NathanOakley1980]

This is awesome 🤩

[@williammercer8839]

Great build

[@joelopez633]

That's a good setup and good numbers 👍👍

[@Kevlar187]

Hey that turned out great man nice job!

[@BudgetBassHead]

Glad you like it

[@bigdogbrodavepresents6178]

Man... these are the woofers I wish were made in the late 70's... I was the Baffle Board guy most of the 80's... this sounds great... Nice video. Great explanation... Props. BDBD/2023

[@justforlaughs8988]

Dude i absolutely love this very impressive

[@dominikspencer3981]

I built quite many of these IB setups in the past four decades. Yes they do sound smooth, but I've learned a lot about myself since then. I kept burning up the subs/woofers because I kept wanting it louder lol. Many of my friends were satisfied with IB setups because they weren't looking for higher spl. They do sound great tho! Cheers!!

[@walcottdion5821]

Sweet sub's you got there bro and a Really neat job you did FANTASTIC👌👍🔥🔥🔥

[@philjimenez4874]

Exactly what we use to do back in the late 80's to mid 90's in westside in Chicago growing up . Then we go out cruising up and down Chicago listening to classic HOUSE music 😁

[@Geoffrey3669]

I remember the free to air Cerwin Vega car audio 12"s from the mid 1990's blew atleast 3 in a row before they stopped warranting them...😮 Ahh memories thanks for the flashback..

[@hotrodjerz1655]

Sound really good 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@sirkkorus8394]

Always wanted to do a set up like this my uncle had set like this but had 2×15 can hear it a mile away nice smooth bass that it shakes houses driving by setting car alarm off and loud n clear 6×9 as no rattle from the trunk

[@xxmeanyheadxx]

lol that was really cool i have never seen this done, i have always wondered what driver would be acceptable to use for ib but since i dont own a sedan i never did the research. also i recently got an svs subwoofer capable of 17hz for my room so this video was the first bass test i got to hear probably exactly how it sounded to you :D it was niiiice and smooth! if i ever have a friend ask for a sub install again i'm recommending this one

[@Bobcatspiritdude]

Those subs are an awesome basshead bargain bro 👌 Thanks for the content 🙏

[@BudgetBassHead]

No problem 👍
