Which 12" sub for an infinite baffle application?

[ScottGS400 10+ year member]

I recently put a system in my GS400, I have a sealed 10" Infinity Perfect in my trunk but I'm not getting a lot of output from it, partially since it's being underpowered by the 5th channel on my Alpine MRV-F450. I removed the stock factory subwoofer from the rear deck and have seen pictures of another install in a GS where they bottom-mounted a 12" sub to the rear deck (firing through the factory opening) and ran it infinite baffle. I'd like to try running an efficient 12" sub in this configuration... I don't really want to pick up another amp so it'll only get about 200 watts from the Alpine.

Any recommendations on a good sub for this application/power level? I was thinking maybe an IDQ 12 but can't find a lot of information on running a 12 in infinite baffle.

thanks, Scott

search yahoo or google. That's what I did before I bought my ID Max 10's. Because I was thinking of running them free air too. Just enter infinite baffle in parenthesis, and seacrh.

I don't know what to tell you about your output problem. 200 watts isn't much of anything, especially in a trunk. It takes 200 watts just to run my 6-3/4 component set.

In case you didn't know their web address here it is http://www.imagedynamicsusa.com they'll have a number that you can get in touch with a technician to see about your infinite baffle setup. Good luck getting a hold of an Image Dynamics tech though, they have the worst customer support I've ever witnessed. It took me 15-20 dollars in long distance charges over a 3 week period just trying to get ahold of one of their technicians. But if your lucky enough to reach one, they have a wealth of information.

Good Luck //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
