infinite baffle advice

[jordon]

So I recently bought a 2015 Mustang and due to there small trunk I wanted to try a infinite baffle in the future because I can get away with running not a long of power so no extra battery or alts. But I never actually heard or seen one beside the builds on here. Any advice or pros and cons? I done some research I've seen the Jl w6 would do good but there hard to find at a price I think is reasonable for that sub. The IA flatlyne looks good. Then there the Id subs but they seem a little pricey. And Dayton has a ib sub at a very good price point. And also a few ssa series seems like they would be good in this kind of set up. But I don't how the air space would of matter for what size subs and how many. I rather fire into the cabin if possible to save from have to deaden the trunk from rattle and such. I'd like to keep it 750 watts or below. I just want really good sq but have a nice amount to of bass also. Figured this be the best and cheapest route for me.

IB puts a lot of energy directly into the trunk, so I don't agree that it would save you from needing to deaden the trunk. A sealed or ported enclosure coupled against the rear seat opening and sealed into the cabin, plus a sealed off rear deck, would potentially get away from trunk rattles.

But that would require a decent size box to seal my cabin off and I want to keep my trunk space and also I don't have the tools to build my own box and I don't know anyone who could build me a box custom for my Mustang beside car audio shop who charge way too much

@CSCStang

pm him about a box.

These obstacles can all be overcome. Infinite baffle requires you to cut at least one piece of wood, and it's possible to build a box with a jigsaw and a drill. Your trunk opening is probably not as big as you think. The enclosure doesn't need to be the full width, but going bigger makes it a lot easier to get louder.

@BIGscott for it to be properly sealed off you would have to build the box with the car present...

Cone area is king. IB output isn't fantastic, imo.

Have had two IB setups and am now permanently going back to ported.

Yeah I might just do ported when I find a good deal on some low powered more sq ordinate subs that can get decently loud.
