[QUOTE="Plutoman, post: 5745418, member: 601528"] Yeah - ideally I'll need a sub designed to handle the limits. Like I said, I'd love to be able to go with a single IB 15/18, but I can't lose my rear seats. My rear deck is limited - it took a bit of work to fit a ten in there. Anything over 4-5mm of xmax would make it hit the rear window if I tried fitting a twelve - if it wasn't already rubbing from the start, potentially. This is quite possibly the biggest reason I could use a custom built sub, as it could fairly easily be built with more of an emphasis on mechanical limits. I am looking at the IDMAX, though, potentially. I've already found my sub currently mounted hitting its mechanical limits when I did some test tones through it. With the music, you aren't able to hear when the tinsels start slapping, but it becomes more obvious when the music isn't there. Accordingly, I put some felt to help dampen the slap on the cone, and set my gains a bit lower. Also, this is another reason I'm trying to get the prep-work done early. I want to work out any and all problems associated with my wants before I start making payments. [/QUOTE]
