Gold Member Username: Livin_loud18 of Love Fi Audio Post Number: 1308 Registered: Jan-06 | lol i tried it before with my Q now that i think about it. just had it chillin in the trunk. it hit better highs than it does in my box... other notes could be felt/heard, but they were pretty quiet |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 3789 Registered: Jan-06 | there is a big difference between free air and infinite baffle IB enclosures separate the front and back waves getting rid of cancellation, but there is no real enclosure per say. free air is well, free air lots of cancellation and if a sub isnt designed for IB use dont use it for that |

I would love to have the space for one at home just for the experience. It's just such a huge commitment in time, $$, and planning. If you haven't seen it, check out this guys HT sub using (4) 15" Mags and 3200w.  http://www.stereointegrity.com/hometheater.html |
