Who has owned an IDmax?

plannin on getting one. The specs say .9cf sealed but seems kinda small for such a beefy sub. n e ways .9 is the MOST space I have for a box so Im just wondering if it will perform well in that enclosure. Also I saw somone mention that they like around 700 watts but they are rated at 1000. My amps is 1200 will that be too much...should i get the d4 run it at 2 ohms and send it 800 watts?

your going to have to stuff your box with a bit of polyfill then because you have to take in the account of the volume that beefy sub takes.

im pretty sure .9 is with the .1 displacement accounted for b/c their response curve shows a .9cf sealed box

If it's anything like the Arc Audio Flatline 12 then it's really nice. I had mine in a really small sealed box and it sounded great.

I personally would go with something over 1.0 cuft with poly fill. I liked mines at 1.2

I had mine in a 1.2 sealed an 1.0 sealed and a much larger ported box.

MUCH better in the 1.2cub. But will work in a 1.0.

o this is a 10" not a 12"

i had mine in a 1.2ish sealed and was not very impressed by it. then i but it in a 2.5 ported to 32hz and now i love it. still would like to get a second one, but the jump from sealed to ported is incredible.

Try 1.5 sealed or 2.5-2.8 @ 28 or 32

I'm just having a hard time believing that it wont sound good in a .9 from the frequency response graph, but from what all you guys say it wont? How much power were all of you sending it?

the ported enclosure seems to have a peak at 40hz....maybe you guys like a little extra low end but I'm going for a flat curve

I loved my 12 in 1.25 off ~750w. For the 10, I think your box will be fine if you stuff it full of polyfill. For the 1200 watts, just be gentle with the gains. Nothing wrong with having a little overhead.

I dont see what the problem is. They recommend .9 and the max you can build is .9 so why dont you try it out? What does it matter if people recommend something else if the MAX you can build is .9 anyway?

The enclosure sizes I recommended was for a 12".

Get the D4 and run at two ohms.
