Id maxes good enough to compete?

The will be in a suv hooked up to a hifonics hercules 1500 watts total is that good enough? and if i got 2 amps and ran thme at the full 2000 watts would the be good eenough for that class or would it be better to sell them and try and save up to get 2 brahmas 15' at 3000 watts meaning i would have to run dual alternators

dont think they would get loud enough to compete with something like the brahma...they are more SQ subs from what ive heard. sure they get loud, but not loud enough for comps.

look on adireaudio.com they have quite a few people who compete and put up sweet numbers in SPL

I already know about adire audio.... when I got my id maxes i was debating getting brahams..... but somebody said that this guy hit 156 with 2 idmaxes and a 2000 watt amp...156 is a good number

They get plenty loud to win at local comps, and if you have enough money, at larger I would suspect. nswartly is right, they are SQ oriented subwoofers, and do a very good job of it. ID Max's are efficient, and in lower wattage SPL classes, should do well.

ask any competitor, and they will tell you that a LinearX mic is a *****. on other mics, he could probably hit like 160? i dunno...

He's doesn't have a world record and a world championship for not being the man.
