Silver Member Username: Riebread77Post Number: 718 Registered: Jun-05 | I need 2 subwoofers, 8" or 10", rms of 400-600 watts dual 2 ohm. budget is around $75-150 per sub ...From looking at specs alone, I'm not able to tell which subs are good at free-air performance. Does anyone have any recommendations. |

Silver Member Username: Riebread77Post Number: 720 Registered: Jun-05 | i know that their aren't just free-air subs...i'm looking for recommendations of subs that won't sound like garbage when thrown into a free-air situation and still keep their integrity. |

Gold Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego Post Number: 2525 Registered: Dec-06 | Blaine is right, infinite baffle is the correct term. The Infinity Perfect is specially designed for different mounting configurations due to it's "variable-q" technology. Basically they are removable pole pieces that change the q from low to medium to high. What you want in an infinite baffle config is low q, or very high damping, so that the woofer won't flap uncontrollably and bottom out. I would get a Perfect not only for the variable-q but because it is an awesome SQ sub for the price. But don't put too much power to it because a woofer in that config needs far less power to develop full excursion and its power handling is greatly decreased. http://www.hookedontronics.com/show_product_details.jsp?cid=19838 |

Silver Member Username: Riebread77Post Number: 721 Registered: Jun-05 | that sub looks good. It has one massive vent on the back of the magnet so it's a wonder why it only handles 1/4 of its max power. Anyways, is that sub really able to handle 25 hz - 400 hz like the specs indicate? |
