    If I remember correctly, Richard Clark did this in either a late 80’s Buick Grand National or a Ford Thunderbird, back in the late 89’s early 90’s. He was the king of SQ back then. Won tons of trophies from IASCA sound competitions for several years. He perfected the system by going to an aperiodic set up for the subs. This requires a semi-permeable membrane that again if I remember correctly was the rear panel of the enclosure. He then further perfected it by coming up with his own product that went over the face of the sub like a grill. Apparently it allowed for an almost ideally damped response curve. He used 15” subs, with the speed of 8” subs and nearly flat response down to 20HZ. His system was compromised of (2) waveguide horns under the dash, (2) 10” mid/mid-bass, and (2) 15” subs. (3) Alpine 250 watt x2 amps to power the speakers. Back in the day it was considered the best of the best. Love what you are doing, keep it up.

      Explain what “speed” of an 8 inch sub means.
      A 15 inch sun playing at 33htz moves 33 times per second.
      A 8 inch sub playing 33 hertz also moved 33 times per second?
      So how is one sub faster than the other?
      I’m not trying to be a smart azz, just trying figure it out!

    • @michaelboner5118
      @michaelboner5118 Рік тому +12

      When referring to “speed” of an 8” sub. It is reference of what also may be called attack & decay. How fast a speaker starts and stops when producing a frequency. Attack is how quick it starts, decay is how slow it stops. Due to sheer size\mass differences between an 8” and 15” sub, the 8” will start and stop quicker. With an aperiodic style enclosure, this dampens the speaker in an ideal way. It helps large subwoofers stop much faster. In essence you can select a slightly higher crossover frequency as the larger sub will react with less unfavorable effects. Ie. say 80-100HZ versus 50-60HZ for a 15” sub. Hopefully this helps with my initial statement.

      What's the deal with horns? I hear a compression horn can act as a mid and tweeter simultaneously and highpass from like 400hz up. Is it in any way possible to have an SQ setup that's 3-way (sub, midbass, and whatever, or sub, mid, and tweeter) that gets 145-155db on the sub stage with the front stage more or less keeping up with it? (more for the low side of that SPL, less for the high side)
      Size constraints are a small single cab truck with a manual trans (so no speakers in the kick), and I only want to use AT MOST half my truck bed for the blow-through box(roughly 16.5 tall x 40 wide x 36 long/deep dimensions, can extend to 17 tall x 52 wide, but only 20 deep if doing a slot loaded IB blow through with three SI SQL-15s). I'd really prefer than nice round 150, and 155 is about my soft tolerance limit for bass. Haven't heard a 160+ car yet from the inside and kinda don't care if I do since that's not a goal of mine.

    I did 4 12” Fi IB subs in a 90’s Cadillac Fleetwood using this method. I went way further though and cut the entire rear deck out and built everything up with MDF and use expanding urethane foam to fill the quarter panels to seal the trunk from the cabin. It played lower than any other system I ever built and only needed 500w per sub. Still my favorite build ever. Not many people know much about infinite baffle designs and there advantages. Well done.

To answer your question, YES I would do this and actually considered doing it with those subs. Another idea I had was to do a B-pillar wall with 4 single 4ohm 18"s, such as Rockville RVW1800 or Dynavox 18"s. Woofers are about a hunerd bucks a copy and don't need a ton of power to get loud.

      @@666Necropsy The first time I tested a dipole sub with some super crappy 12" in a small room, I was instantly amazed because of the details. Even though the sub was totally busted. I kept thinking about it and ultimately got a car that had a trunk that was almost like made for having a sub in the middle. Did an install with good 12" sub and fell in love about the idea where there is no enclosures (for the bass at least).
      Then after years I got two 18" Electro-Voice DL18MT's, old 90's PA subs for cheap and just fitted them on a big board. I tested them outside, as I'd been dreaming of a sub bass capable small(ish) PA -system that doesn't make the neighbours or anyone living nearby mad (even at like multiple miles away). Nowadays I myself pretty much hate the overly high SPL -oriented cars blasting some single note bass songs nearby. So I can imagine how it would feel waking up or noticing a bumping bass when you're going to sleep that just keeps on playing forever (in your usual forest raves, from 10pm to like 6am+).
      For example one time we had just one simple big Peavey 2x18" PA sub enclosure and in the beginning of the night a few of my friends went close to the nearest house, more than a mile away (which also was behind a small hill) to check if the bass carries to there and when they got out of the car to listen, they said it sounded like there had been a party going in the nearby house.
      I've tested the two 18" in a large wooden building and they went nicely down to 20 something Hz. One time I took them to a DJ gig in a really old bar in a wooden building. There I had some problems with uneven bass as I didn't have enough time to EQ the system.
      I also had a pair of 15" "modern" car subs and they too sounded great outside WITHOUT an enclosure. And I bet the bass couldn't be heard after like 50 meters or so, but the first 10-20 were very nice. Inside an aparment they would shake the floor with Indigo Children (JLE Dub).
      When I had the system in my car, I noticed that on the outside, the bass seemed to attenuate on the sides of the car, which makes sense as it worked kinda like a dipole. So I think one can blast their music much louder with a free air/infinite baffle sub system than they can with any enclosure without messing with the people around.

    Yo man, I really like all you do. This build brings some ideas to mind. I think a double baffle and brace could improve sturdiness. And just to protect the subs from things in the trunk; leave it open back, but add somewhat of a tunnel box only about 8 inch. Then add vibration deadening to the back side. Just some thoughts, I tinned to over think things.😅

    This is a beautiful simple build! I've always felt like big magnets and high wattage is for loudness, so anything over 10k was for the professionals. For a personal build i focused on a quality full range sound at a decent sustained loudness that's not blowing out my eardrums.

    Never done infinite baffle, but my understanding always was they’re great for SQ, less power handling and raw db than other enclosure choices. Your results seem to match that. I’ve hit 135 on 500 watts before but I doubt mine would play as wide a range as an infinite baffle setup would.

      Although a large ported box with a low tuning will sound similar with extra headroom in the bass extension, or just adding a pipe that treats the trunk as a slightly leaky ported box and have a 15Hz tuning. The low resonance won't cost you output up higher either compared to the same infinite baffle. Whilst you can use your trunk space, it will restrict the sound a bit.

  • @JasonWW2000
    @JasonWW2000 Рік тому +20

    To make it more functional you can put a piece of expanded steel mesh across the back (same size as baffle board) and some black grill cloth. Then you can throw anything in the trunk and the subs stay protected.

      It can also change the way it sounds , like filling up the trunk with luggage would. Decreasing airspace. Could be better could be worse? Ive never had that car or those particular subs so i wouldnt know. The mesh and cloth would allow air to pass through, but at a much slower rate.

    30 years ago I did a IB setup with a couple pioneer 12's in a accord. the main issue was rattling the crap out of the trunk exterior. With the same subs in a 4th order bandpass through the rear deck and it was the most amazing experience. Literally raise your hair with the sunroof open and no rattles on the car 20-80hz. Can't compete with your trunk space though!

    I've considered doing an infinite baffle in my rear deck with smaller drivers, only because I need both the trunk space and the passthrough into the cabin to be able to haul stuff around for work. I'm also considering a shallow transmission line mounted to the underside of the rear deck, but I'm concerned about how a shallow, wide line would perform.
    Those two 18"s look killer, though! Have you played it with the seats up, yet? :D

    • @BudgetBassHead
      @BudgetBassHead  Рік тому +3

      It sounds like crap with seats up. Almost becomes a fourth order bandpass. Rattles the trunk like crazy, but about a 50% loss of sounds in the cabin. I have to crank the power to hear it properly, which these subs can't handle. I would need the ZVX-18's to play with the seats up.

    Replace the skars with these, I promise you will be amazed , nothing wrong with the skars but the stereo integrity are better and will handle more power (not to mention they cost 199 each)
    even though on 200 watts they sounded almost as loud as 2000 watts in my build- it’s just and IB thing brother - down low they only need single to double digit wattage to create carnage inside your car……and down low I mean 10-30hz notes 😂
