Subwoofer enclosure under floor - Page 2

How about condensation in the summer when the air indoors is nice and cool, and it is warmer with 95% humidity under the house.....

I just can't see subjecting a driver to these conditions even though some of you say you have done it with no ill affect.

Thanks for the replies!!

steve, an alternative is to build in some storage space with the driver in the wall of say a closet, or put in a false wall and use it for some other services.

The guys here are very strongly advocating an IB as its an "ultimate" design, the kind that even audio enthusiasts hear and exclaim "that's the best bass I've heard!" Whether it is worthwhile for you from a practical and business point of view is for you to decide, but for enthusiasts it is worth finding a way to make it work rather than just saying "it's not an option!"

If I were you I'd be asking first "is it worthwhile going IB?" If the answer you come up with is yes, I'd then ask "how can I make it work?"

Why go to 90% of the effort of an IB, if the performance is that of a regular box sub?
