[QUOTE="bikinpunk, post: 5504901, member: 568114"] I have both. 2 idmax's are currently IB'd, and the 12w7 is in my computer room waiting for HT duty. IMO, it's a very close call. The w7 has a massive bottom end that seems to be better than the idmax. However, above 40hz the IDmax seems to have more output; so much in so that you'll probably want to knock down the 50hz region a few clicks to help it stay linear. I typically ran/run both up to 50hz then let my midbasses take over. But, I've often ran them as high as 110hz for when I want to rock out. Both do very well. Both have a lot of output. Honestly, they're very close to compare. I'm actually now selling my idmax's to go with a different IB setup, but not because I didn't like them; I just want to change things up again. Bottom line: Go with what your budget allows, or what your space allows. They're both very similar but have subtle differences. It's all in the install. [/QUOTE]
