After reading other posts about ISOBARIC enclosures - I've come to he realization that there are different types! Can someone classify them or clarify?

Isobaric is simply two woofers either face to face or one in front of each other wired togther. Biggest advantage is your enclosure is half the standard size. But you will only have the output of a single woofer. There aren't may applications that I would suggest using this arrangement though. Todays subs work in small cabinets on their own and I can't justify the extra cash needed.

What about IB in kick panels? btw I'll take you up on you offer once I get the car done! Hmm when you're thinking um that depends on when Rockford get the next batch of 3sixty.2's built! BEH!

another major benefit of isobaric is having two motors, suspensions, surrounds etc working together to control the woofer and keep it linear under high excursion circumstances

I've been reading people creating kickpanels with IB configurations! If I'm mistaken do they mean ISOBARIC?? if not what is IB?

Isobaric = alignment better suited in the old days when a smaller enclosure was needed but power and control needed to be kept.

Infinite Baffle = a "wall" that completely separates the front of the driver from the back..the baffle is "infinitely" huge...no enclosure, aka free-air (not completely accurate)

IB is popular with subs and midbass in SQ cars. You need to choose the right speakers though.
