I was looking at the new solobarics the W3's and the ID8's. What sold me was cone area and xmax. ID has the most cone area because image dynamics uses the high roll surround to keep from taking away from cone area. Second the W3 only had 10 mm of xmax which is about average for 8 inch subs. The solobarics have around 12 mm of xmax which is decent for 8's. But the ID's have 15 mm of xmax which is excellent for a 8 inch sub in this price range. So image dynamics was a no brainer for me. Power handling don't mean sh!t if a speaker can't move alot of air without being overdriven. It's just going to rip the spider out of the speaker or tear the surround off of it from over excursion. All the subs I have ever blowed had sorry azz xmax 8 or 9mm of xmax. So easy to blow up from over excursion.</p></blockquote><p></p>
