Does anyone have the t/s parameters for 12" iDMax V3 Dual 2

[The_Grimy_One 10+ year member]

I need the parameters, and also does anyone have suggestions on box size/freuqency? I will be giving it about 1200 RMS. Really shooting for SQ, since the ported box will already yield more SPL than a sealed box.

And yes, I searched around... But since the Image Dynamics website went down, good quality info is scarce :/

I did a lot of reading and research on the IDMax and found that they're not a big fan of more power than what's listed especially when going ported. (correct me if I'm wrong)

From what I've observed, people like to tune to ~25-28, but I've seen 30-32 as well. I read of a nice SQ install tuned to 20.

In terms of specs, here's what an ID Tech posted in SD back then:

Daily driver spl box IDmax 12 d2/3/4

Box volume = 2.97 cbft gross

port = 4" round X 7.64" long

This design is good for all music with a little more kick in the pants... \//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Thanks again for sellin me the sub, hope this helped!

I mean I am not gonna turn the gain way up, you think the 1200 will kill it? I am now thinking 2.3 cubes @ 27Hz. From my understanding, the more power you have, the smaller you want the box.

Or go back sealed with that kinda power?

They will handle the power just fine. Make sure the amp is tuned properly and unclipped. I put my ID8's on 350wrms per sub and their rated is 300w max.

dont the ID Max's only have a 2" coil?

it's 2.5"

to quote imtjnotu:

"very picky when it comes to power...2.5" coil doesnt like to be overpowered much"

ill come back with a better response later, gotta hit up a graduation.

i just know that 2.5^3 is the recommended space requirement by eric from IDmax as well as other techs amongst other forum users

Yes, it's a 2.5" coil. On music, in many cases, they will take power just fine. Constantly varying amount of power and signal won't build as much heat as a tone, or the like. For reference, it's generally the same coil size as other drivers rated 500-700rms.

i was always told not to run the ID over like 800w because of the coil, unless earlier models only used a 2" coil

Thanks for all the info guys. Think I will put it up for trade.

You dont know what your missing. ID subs look rather average on paper, but once you get them in they are fantastic.

Oh I know they sound good, but dont feel like frying one... Got 1200 watts to work with and wanted to port it for some extra spl.

Just tune for 1000. It's not that hard to dial back your gain.

Will it even take 1000 ported? A bunch of people were saying 800...
