how do they compare? same RMS and imdependence. my guess would be (both ported) the SX would be louder but the idmax would have better SQ. but the idmax would also be very loud, and the SX have good sq
I got rid of my ID MAX 12s in one and a half weeks of having them, just didn't like them. I now have two RE SX15s but only one actually made it to my car and I would say the one 15 outpowers the two 12s SPL wise. The IDs have a really nice "audiophile" type of sound, good transient responce but I prefer a little more thump and the SXs have plenty of SQ going on too. I would say for the money, it is hard to beat the RE SX. The slot ported box I used for the IDs were 2 cf each chamber, tuned to 32hz. The RE sx15 is in a 4 cf with four 4" round ports box tuned to around 44hz but in car tuning comes to be almost spot on at 38hz, all ran on a Kicker SX1250.1, one for each when using the two IDs. Now this is just my opinion and not meant to sell products so to each his own...Polo.
In what type of car is it good to have it ported at 2.5 cuft @ 25 hz ? Every car is differant. What type of car did you hear it in and what type of amp and HU>
