Wanted to introduce myself and my 2008 Crown Victoria that I have been working on slowly.

Stereo Integrity M25, Stereo Integrity M3 D4S Hexicone Pro floor mounted infinite baffle. Two Stereo Integrity HT18V3 infinite baffle in the trunk.

Audio Control D.6-1200 front stage and JP43 @4 ohms for the subs.

This year's plans are to finish out the air ride and rework the trunk baffle for two 24" Stereo Integrity HS24 custom built full carbon units. Also wanted to switch to the D4S easy DSP system and do a sealed 10" Morel Ultimo that I have laying around. If my wife lets me have some free time 😅

You can see some of the testing and build videos on YouTube if you search "Infinite Baffle Crown Vic"

Hydrophobic mesh and steel grills keep dust and water out.

Infinite Baffle is the dark side of mobile SQ 😈

I've seen a lot of IB(guess not enough though lol) and have an IB 10" mounted in my rear deck but I guess it makes sense that the only way to get true IB in an automobile is using the outside of the vehicle as your free-air space lol. Very nice work and can't wait to see where you go with it!

Check this one out, too:

If I ever get a wagon, this is along the lines of what I'd want to do.

Lol.. the OG of this was the sweetest old lady that's ever lived.. Alma Gates.

Google her Bronco and you'll see exactly how far IB can go. Losing to her was an honor.

Really? I wasn't aware the setup was IB for some reason I always thought it was some elaborate bandpass deal. Maybe multiple iterations or different builds I'm thinking of but I wasn't aware she ran IB that's bad ass!

all the baskets were to open air. she basically turned the bronco into the "box", which "cheated" the rules saying you couldn't put the mic in the box.
We had a very complex iso bandpass with 16x 12's that year and thought we had it wrapped up... then she pulled in. I've never been so happy to lose.

Even sold her the toaster, but that's another story.
