[QUOTE="ashren315, post: 8546972, member: 670616"] My understanding of IB is that the front and rear waves are permanently separated but that the enclosure is so large you no longer get the benefit of back pressure that a smaller sealed enclosure would offer. Basically, the woofer sounds the same on either side of the woofer as it's air volume on both sides are so vast that it no longer gives any resistance to the woofer, yet it is still separated so you don't get cancellation. For instance. If you mounted a woofer in your wall of your house between two rooms, both rooms would "hear" the sub but the sub would not get the added benefit to power handling and frequency response. Is it more than this? [/QUOTE]
