[QUOTE="blazian87, post: 8350744, member: 574798"] The IDMAX could work in both sealed and ported pretty nice. If you go sealed, make it kinda on the big side like 1.8 cu ft or bigger to get the flattest response. I would recommend you go ported if you have the space though. It will really bring out the best of the sub especially for those "turn up" sessions. For ported, ID recommends 2.25 cu ft tuned @30hz for those who are more worried about SQ than loudness. When it comes to IDMAX v3 or v4, the v4 has some significant changes on their parts and are supposed to be built stronger. There's a big price difference but if money is of no concern then I would say v4 is a good choice. From the past, I've always heard people blowing the IDMAX sub quite often. That's why if I were you, I'd probably just go with the v4 since it has better parts. It could be user error or that this sub is very sensitive or both.. but either way, set your gains conservatively and it should be a great sub for you. 1 ohm or 2 ohm wouldn't really matter as long as it's a good quality amp, it should be able to handle it no problem.
