TeamHirshAudio Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 I have been doing some research on a couple a different Infinite baffle subwoofers, and the most common woofers i see that come are the FI IB3 subwoofer and the Dayton Audio IB385-8. Does anyone have any experience with either of these 2 subwoofers? Or have any other IB subwoofer? I am thinking a 2-15" set up in you guessed it, and infinite baffle! Any input is appreciated! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega5002 Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 I heard the Tantric LD series work well in IB as well 2003 Kia Sorento Team Subsonic LowsTeam Bassin' on a Budget2016 Rebuild Under Construction Best score: 150.2 at 40hz (3k, 2 Custom HDC3 15's) Usaci style(door open, in the kick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin M Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 The Dayton audio IB's are great subs. I use 3 18" Dcs-450's. They are fast, accurate, and very musical. A couple other brands to look at are the jbl MKII, image dynamics 15" and the incriminator Audio Flatlyne series. Also if you are on a budget and want a great IB I would recommend the Pyle blue wave. If you can stomach the look of them they are outstanding IB subs. If you go the IB route make sure to well deaden your rear deck and trunk lid. I would go with a minimum of 1 1/2" baffle and bolt it directly into the car. Mine is 2 1/4" thick and I added a couple 2x's and about 10 lbs. of modeling clay, and fiberglass to mine to make it more rigid and deaden the fuck out of it. Here is a pic of the the subs from the trunk. (I know the bolt holes aren't symmetrical. No fucks given. haha 2005 Ford Focus zx4 AMT's and Planars 18" Infinite baffle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really dont know what brand to go with... stuck between the Dayton, FI IB3, anf tantric LD.. I think im just going to do some research on each brand and see which one i think id personally like more. I love your set up tho!! I wish my ride could fit even 1 18.. but i only have 17" tall... Thanks for the input man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin M Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Well to do it I had to sacrifice my backseat. I haven't had one in the car for two years anyway. There was 4 18" in a wall in it before... and 3 18" before that. It is bolted directly to the rear deck. It is the most musical sub setup I have had in the car to date. The Beemer is TaylorFade's. I'm sure he can answer any questions you have about the Tantric subs. Send him a message Edit. I need to vacuum lol 2005 Ford Focus zx4 AMT's and Planars 18" Infinite baffle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Lightning Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 With a pair of 12s or 15s (depending on what the vehicle can fit) ... you should not HAVE to loose your back seat, all depends on how you build your baffle ... Everything "should" be able to be built within the trunk area ... but then again, every application is different ... Once you get the trunk completely cleaned out, and take out your back seat ... we should be able to tell what you have to work with ...
