Any Good Free-Air/Infinite Baffle speakers?
I had JL Audio stealthboxes in my 99 and 95 M3, and I thought they were great for what I wanted to acheive from them. They were made with 8" JL Audio Infinite Baffle speakers (using the volume of the trunk as the subwoofer enclosure).
I am just thinking that it might be a good idea to replace the 6x9's in the rear deck with a couple 8" free-air speakers mounted to MDF in that stock location to get better bass than the Bose system can provide.
I can't seem to find free-air/Infinite Baffle speakers anywhere. Anyone know where I can find them?
Anyone think this is a completely nutz idea? if so, what am I missing?

You may want to check out Elemental Designs eu-700 sub.
It is a 6.5" sub that apparently performs quite admirably in IB.

Of course, you are not going to get the low end excursion that you would get with a larger speaker.
And they are only $50 a piece...

Yeah there are two products tha can solve the problem. Kicker sells a subwoofer part of their Comp series that is an 8 inch. This subwoofer can be used as a free air subwoofer. There is also a company from California called Image Dynamics. Their website is www.imagedynamicsusa.com. They sell an 8 inch sub that works in free air too. The only online retailer for them is www.soundomain.com. Hopes this helps. I would personally go with Image Dynamics. Any questions post back.

There is a DLS dealer here in Houston that could possibly help you out? I just picked up a DLS OA10 (open air) that is designed for a IB setup. Gonna put this in the LS400 when I get a chance to replace the crappy Pioneer 8" that was there.
TangBand also makes nice woofers that would work in an IB setup. They come in 6", and 6x9" among other sizes.
