15" si mag vs. Idmax SQ BATTLE

[audioholic 5,000+ posts]

get the mag. the idmax are junk. they will not handle much power. maybe like 500 watts max then blow up! Stick with something reliable. I owned two idmax, they were junk! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif People complain because they can't handle the truth..it hurts them..because I owned it..//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Funny, your story use to be you owned 4 IDMax's.

Anything better then the RetardMAX! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/*******.gif.a649d21efc0d1fd4890a6428166586c1.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

It would be junk in 1 week, just like audioholic car! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

bossmans cracking me up....

i heard some scuttlebutt a couple months ago that image dynamics is getting an idmax 15" ready to release.

 

[James Bang 5,000+ posts]

not the the 15" max would be release anytime soon, but it would sure be nice.

In order for that to happen, and whole new motor would need to be designed. They don't like the idea of having the same motor for a 15". I agree w/ that, for i dont' like seeing a line of subs that has the same motor on a 10" and an 18"

IIRC, there are IDMAX 15" Knockoffs all over eBay.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

IMO and iDmax 15" knockoff would be an OZ ME 15"

Thankyou for the kind words.

Thankyou for the kind words.

no problem, i give credit where credit is due. there are a few members who dont only contribute worthwhile opinions, but also straight facts that let the newer guys learn a lot faster. i should mention immacomputer is another one (even though he schooled me in my ia 20.1 thread that i still dont want to admit to haha)

Whats you F U C K E N Problem, I just list genre that I like and you come and bash on it you piece of sh i t. The world doesnt revolve around what you like. Sumbody Bann this guy already.

I know this is a somewhat old thread but when I decided to visit this forum today and had a ridiculously threatening and childish (and extremely amusing) pm from you about my post here I figured I would respond.

First off, take a ****ing chill pill. I take shots at everyones music, look at the title under my username. It's only half-serious, no reason to take it personal. I only posted here in the first place to answer your question, and it just so happens that death metal usually has much faster kickdrums than nu-metal. I listen to Linkin Park too, I consider them a guilty pleasure.

If I come out to California for some reason, maybe I will take you up on the offer. You can ask some of the people here who have met me in person what to expect. Otherwise, get the **** over it.

Peace

Wow...this thread is just saturated with ignorance:crap:

#1 transient response is not an issue with subwoofers, it is an inaudible phenomenon. Please do not recommend subwoofers because they are "faster" or slower"

#2 Have the dumbasses that blew their IDMaxes ever realized that thermal power handling isnt the only parameter to consider? There is a MECHANICAL power handling also, you can't expect to toss an efficient woofer in a large sealed/ported box with tons of power and NOT hit its mechanical power handling...jeeze. Power handling lowers (mechanical not thermal) when it is placed in a larger box with less air pressure. Thus the same excursion is achieved with less power...if you keep throwing more power at it its going to exceed xmax.

#3 The SQ phenomenon you are all raving about has to do with the FREQUENCY RESPONSE. Most subs have different frequency responses and are completely dependent on the install and transfer function of the vehicle. Have you ever considered equalization? Get the response of your car measured with an RTA, and boost the frequencies that are lacking and cut the frequencies that are exaggerated.

FYI prosound setups (ie those at concerts) are exorbitantly efficient. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe you mentioned that you were craving a response similar to concerts. You can only have 2 of the 3 (small box, efficiency, low-end extension). Prosound rigs choose efficiency and small boxes for convenience and output reasons and as a result they have almost NO output below 50hz. An exaggerated 50-100hz is classic of concerts.

If you want to achieve this, toss it in a sealed box (bigger is better for efficiency reasons, but you most lower LF content with a HPF or limit power if you go that route) and boost the 50-100hz region and cut the

I agree with most of what you said, seeing as it is hard to disagree with facts.

However, I like to use "faster" and "slower" when talking about subwoofers. I'm not sure what name you would like to give this, but my SI Mags are much "faster" than my TC-3000. Not only are they able to play more kickdrum notes in a given period of time and still be audibly separated, but they also play them "on time". The TC-3000 had a bit of delay, even on a single drum beat, which was clearly audible. Thus, I considered it "slow. Someone told me that was one drawback of the heavier metal cone, though I don't know if that is true or not.

Umm. I believe the car in Audioholic's avatar is a 1970 Chevelle SS (396 or 454, I'm not sure. Perhaps even a crate 350 or something else entirely). Last time I checked, that was one of the sexiest cars out there.

Don't get me wrong, I love a well-built import too. But I'd take that Chevelle over anything Japan has ever put out.
