infinite baffle, it is a fancy name for a way to mount a sub. Its been a while since I have heard or used the term, I believe it means what you and I call free air mounting, correct me if I am wrong on this guys....

Yes infinite baffle is the rarely used synonym for free-air.
Only subwoofers which been pronounced as free-air-use ok should be put into IB applications. Else, you'll end up with a strange sounding, and poorly performing setup from what I've seen.
I think I'd advise anyone to just go ahead and build a custom box for a their subs before I'd advise them to run infinite baffle - but that's probably just because I've never implemented an IB design so I couldn't say how they perform in comparision to the small sealed boxes I've traditionally stuck by.
