Gold Member Username: Suleman36Maryland U.S.A. Post Number: 2513 Registered: Feb-05 | I have a 95 Mitsubishi Montero SUV and im interested in a ID MAX 12. Im more into SQ but here this sub can get clean and loud enough. Could you tell me what amps whould be a really good fit for this subwoofer ? Also i know you had said before "IDMAX screams ported" Could you tell me what size box and tuning whould work best for this i do know you own one. I listen to all types of music. I own a CrossFire VR1000D amp -500 x 1 @ 2 ohms http://www.imagedynamicsusa.com/products_page.php?id=idmax&type=sub |

Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 4965 Registered: May-04 | Either sealed 1.3 cu ft or ported, 2.5cu ft net tuned to 25hz. Either will give great sound quality and output, I'd go ported if I had the room. ID Max is flexible, sealed, ported, infinite baffle, aperiodic, all give great results with it. I like it ported b/c of the flat response and the low resonant frequency. You can tune it really low. Image Dynamics gives a box recommendation on their site for an ID Max, but I'd go with a large slot port to make sure you don't get port noise at high volumes. |

ID site recommends 2.3 cuft tuned to 28hz for there largest ported specs What do you think ? Here is the link to the spec sheet http://www.imagedynamicsusa.com/spec.php?type=encspec&id=IDMAX12D4%20V.3 P.S. What do you think about what amp to use on this? JL 500/1 or somthing bigger ? |

Bronze Member Username: Iwrk4satanPost Number: 27 Registered: Jul-05 | I'm also interested in getting this sub. I have a JL 500/1 to an 8w7 right now. Anyone know how it compares to an 8w7 or 10w7? I was also wondering if I'd have to upgrade to the 1000/1 or if it would sound ok with just the 500/1 to it. |

Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 4966 Registered: May-04 | If you look under their tech pages and download the data sheet, you'll see it's around 2.5 net tuned to 25. Either will give great results, I'd go with the larger box. As far as amps, I'd give it around 700-800W RMS at most. You don't really need any more than that. |
