I'm thinking about building 2x18 IB subs (probably start with one manifold, then move to 2). My media room is on the 2nd floor, has attic above and on three sides of the room, faces an exterior wall which is about 10-15ft from the neighbor. Will an IB sub resound through the whole house? can...

I'm going to build a ceiling mounted IB subwoofer. I (believe I) have 22" between ceiling joists. The speakers I'm going to use are two Fi IB318's. A 2-in-a-line array is (barely) possible and would require twice as big a hole in the ceiling, and somewhat simpler construction. The alternative is...

Hi All! I’m new to the forum, and I’ve been contemplating building an IB for some time. I currently have two Dayton Audio 12” reference subwoofers in sealed enclosures that I built about three years ago. They’ve definitely treated me well. I recently moved into a new house with a nice large...

Hello, As a neat solution I am looking at a custom 5 channel power amp to power the front 3 speakers in my setup, and an IB which I will install. The amp would be a 5 x 300 watt power amp. This gives me 2 channels with which to power the IB with. Does anyone have any thoughts as to if they...

I was told directly by SI this is possible -- convert it into an IB . How do you determine the box size for them? Two options for placement = living room wall and off the garage or living room floor and under neath the floor. If I do the garage I would do one box like this - My concern...

I am in the research phase of my media room project... Definitely thinking about IB subs since I like the idea quite a bit. But have some questions: 1. I assume ideal placements are the same as for any other sub? Four corners, four center walls, or two centered on the sides? Obviously subject...

Hello all. I have a 15'x20' theater room with a vaulted ceiling and dormer windows. Due to the way the interior was finished, I have two fully enclosed (drywalled) areas in the front of the theater room, one on the left wall, and one on the right wall (symmetric) that I want to use for an IB...

I have had my 4 x 18" FI sub in place for 4 years now. Here is the build thread: It is the Christmas Build: http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/ib-infinite-baffle-subwoofer-build-projects/63366-christmas-build.html Nobody has been able to answer this question and I have not seen an...

Hello all, long time lurker first time poster here. I'll get straight to the point and see what you guys think about my situation. I've been interested in IB for almost 10 yrs but never had the cahunas to go forward with it. So I ended up with three SVS 20-39 pci's that were great for what they...

My Carvin HD1800 croaked. There's a loud hum. I think it means that something came unsoldered. I'd like to replace it. It lived in the closet because of the fan noise, and I'd rather have one without a fan. Here's my existing configuration. The IB sub has four 18" drivers. Each driver is...

Why did I build this? For the exact same reason George Mallory climbed Mt. Everest, "Because it's there." That and maybe because of all the internet know-it-alls who told me it wouldn't work. "it's" in this case being a nice big old brick fireplace smack dab between in the middle between my...

I have a cement shelf that wraps my theater room. My dimensions are 16ft x 22ft x 10ft. The cement shelf 46" high and 18" deep. If I place a drop ceiling they will be 8ft. So from the shelf to the ceiling is approx. 4ft. If I build a baffle wall for my front speakers I can add another 18"...

So I am about to build my first IB. The space for the back-wave that is approx. 150cuft. I am wondering what my best options are for size and number of drivers? I was thinking 2 15's such as the PE IB385-8. I understand the FI 15" gets a lot of love but I can't justify the cost difference unless...

Hello to all. My wife and I are building a new home which will have a dedicated home theater room. The dimensions are 18'x14'x10'. I would like to use as much of my equipment as possible. I have Definitive Technology speakers (ProMonitor 100 (2), ProCenter 100, BP-1x (2) and Powerfield 12). I...

This is my 1st post here. I'm buying a new home and currently hesitate between my top 2 choice. Both houses have a similar room in the basement that I plan to convert to a hifi room (stereo only) They are 7feet high (suspended ceilling), 12Wide and 20long. A bit small for my whish but...

I found a couple of the Dayton Audio IB385-8 15" Infinite Baffle Subwoofer on Craigslist, $75 each. Are these okay for a home theater subwoofer? If I get them, do I just do WinISD as usual? I saw lots of folks putting them in walls as subs, but I didn't see a lot of subs on the floor. Does...

I am starting my first IB build in my living room. I do not have a dedicated theater room at the moment, so we are turning our living room into our family entertainment zone. I am waiting on my Fusion 12 Tempest kits to arrive, and now working on my IB plans so I can order the appropriate items...

So i have 4 AE 15s in two manifolds powered with BASH 500 for each pair. I took some SPL readings relative to Frequency with volume set to 50 on my receiver,and was curious if anyone has advice on smoothing the response or maybe sound treatment. Ironically i ran an audessey calibration as my...
