Can this thing do infinite baffle?

What is the QTS requirement for infinite baffle?

Is there any other T/S Specs that interplay?



"GCON 18" 950W Subwoofer by SSA"

"T/S Specs:
D4 / D2
Fs. 25.5 / 24.9 hz
Re 8.0 / 4.0 ohms

Qes 0.82 / 0.78
Qts 0.78 / 0.74
Cms 0.14 mm/N
Mms 304.5 / 306.5 gr
Bl 16.3 N/A
SPL 93.1 / 93.8 dB
VAS 178.0 L

SSA GCON enclosure info:

10x Vas is the minimum for a true infinite baffle setup. My current substage and my last 5(maybe 6 or 7, hard to remember) substages have been IB, and I don't believe any of them were "ideal" subs in the QTS department. My current sub(s) have a qts of .245 and a Fs of 26.5, which is very far from the ideal range of .650-.750 Qts.

I believe the Gcon would sound great in IB. Be careful with the power, and have a bit of EQ available and you should be fine.

Looks like a good candidate. Keep your power under 500 watts.
Just a heads up. I have used subs with a qts of .47 with success.
