What’s the qualification of drivers that suit to Infinite Baffle enclosure? I I mean something about; high Qts, Qes < 0.33, low Re, etc.
I have a loudspeaker cookbook, it has a little information about the IB in it though.
Or if anyone has good resources/text books/articles, you can suggest me them.

IB, OB, sealed ideally needs from 0.5 - 0.707 Qts' depending on the desired transient response with an Fs at or a bit below the desired low cut-off.
(Qts'): (Qts) + any added series resistance (Rs):

With eq you can use almost any decent driver with sufficient volume displacement. I did a system decades ago with eight 18LW1400 drivers. They are pretty far from a typical IB driver, but performed really well with a bit of eq. Response was -6dB a bit over 5Hz. Output was more than enough for most people.
