Image Dynamics anyone?!

yea sorry its just a shibby little hand held digi cam not exactly to great for videos.

lol but yea i was reading up on the forum b4 i joined. I said i was a n00b to the forum not Audio :p

 
My Id's get QUITE loud for running off the HK401sx running @ .5 ohms said suppose to do 1800rms ( im at about 60% gain and about25% boost) rattles my car and my bud can hear me 3 blocks away! I want to get metered but believe it or not i cant find anywhere in houston w/ a termlabs or anything, im trying to convince my sponsor ( sound Solutions) to get a meter and let me start tuning ( i can tune by ear but i can charge for the meter)

 
well sounds like you really wanna cook the coils on the idmax's huh?

because you know they only need maybe 500~700w RMS to reach their linear excursion, but you knew that. and you also knew that bass boost will just add to the bonfire because once clipping sets in with your amplifier that you obviously set the gains correctly for, the bass boost is just going to help heat up the coils and feed a dirty signal to the idmax's.

not that distortion ever killed a speaker, but the blatent overpowering of the idmax, and the bass boost to boot, i dont see them lasting very long in your install. just my 2 cents.

a pair of idmax's dont need 1800w. 1200 for the pair is more than enough if you installed them in the correct enclosure, but then again - headroom is never bad, but it sounds like you are not using the amp for headroom lol.

 
i dont think anyone here doubts the quality of the idmax.. buts it not what everyone is goin for. nice choice of subs, im not sure on what amp that is.. any good?
