Hey there,

I am considering getting a new sub within the next few weeks or sooner if possible.

I have noticed the IDMAX sub has recieved much praise on the forums. So considering i am after very good SQ, will the IDMAX satisfy?

I want every note to be well defined especially in music with heavy double kick. My current type r 12" seems to be very dirty sounding.

As i have never heard an IDMAX, how does it compare to say a jl or xtant, which i am also considering.

PS does anyone know where i could audition an IDMAX in perth.

Cheers people
Adrian

go see yanddy at audioart and technologies on murray st dude

I have heard very favourable reviews for these woofers too. Don't forget the more power you have to drive the woofer the better it will sound as well. I think you are going to need more amplification than that Crossfire amp you already have, SQ needs big power for accurate reproduction. And what about the the way the woofer is operating in your car, box size and positioning plus sound deadening is very important also.

Hey Adrian,
How's the T2.200v2 running?

The IDMax is supposed to be a very good SQ sub and I may consider one for myself

I'd compare the IDMax to somewhere between the JL W6 and W7 - most pple would compare it to just the W7, checked the price on the W7 yet ?

thats true about running them with more power. i was considering buying one but i only had 300 RMS to run it off.

so i went for IDQ 12.D4 - running at 2-ohm.

RRP of about $2000



True that. Sounds like something i said before too.

And the RRP of the Max is...

$849 ie you can get the MAX and a PHAT monoblock for the same price as the W7.

Yup

Or the Max and another T2.200

Go the Max!

Cant wait til the 15's arrive

I want to have the 15 as well. I can see lots of 12s in the for sale forum when the 15s come out lol.

yeah the crossfire is going to underpower it heaps , but i want to allow for future upgrades.

I like the look of the tru tech hammer mono amp! if finances permit i will seriously look at strapping one of those babies in the boot .

The T2.200 is still going very well thanks Mo.

Adrian

Go the Hammer Have you seen one yet?

Let me know once you get your sub and we'll see if we can hook up a Hammer for a demo

Glad to hear that you're happy with the 2.200!

Bye,
Mo

i'd maybe be interested in buying a 2nd hand 12.

big enough for me, cos i don't need to compensate for anything :wink:

Are you insinuating something there Stooge??? :tony:

What's the goss on the 15's? Is some one dreaming or are they really coming?

Actually, IDMAX woofers sound like crap, but they are shiny so people buy them thinking they are good! (15 is coming, I have seen basket in the flesh, and as that is one of the most expensive parts to tool, I strongly suspect they will go ahead with it, but it will probably sound like crap too!)
Part of this post is not serious.

so the basket isn't the most expensive part to tool?? :tony: j/k

It's nice to see a dealer/importer with a sense of humor for a change!

well hutch, now that youve enlightened me i think ill go for one of these beauties instead. wait for it........

Boss Ripper RIP-100 Subwoofer $39.95

nice and cheap. what a beast! haha

Adrian :hehe:

I agree with Hutch... they are pretty crap, but are shiny!

the 15 is talked about by ID over here as a more SPL than SQ sub.

The only thing about the 12 is i think its better at true subbass ie below 50Hz maybe as low as 30hz down depending on car type rather than a higher up sub it imo is not as good as say a W7 at the higher up stuff.

RRP of ID MAX 12" = $849AUD

RRP of JL 12W7 = $1,698AUD

i would think the W7 would be better in some respects.

Actually i was just down at Northfield moorooka today to get some neons installed, and was having a chat with everyone. And i have been told by a one of the good blokes there that the W7 in the US actually is in the same price range as the IDMAX. Someone is getting greedy along the way to Australia and jacked up the price!!!

Phat Devil

Its about the same here in the UK too thats why i said what i did.
theres only £50 UKP difference at most. Mind the Diamond TDX is in the same sort of price range here too were its half the price of the ID or JL in the states. So it all depends on what the markup is for the distributors and dealers in each country.

I still stand by my statment that the ID is more of a true low down sub it can get a bit boomy at the higher stuff Compared to other makes of subs not just the JL W7 or JL W6v2 either many other makes. The ID is what i would call a true subbass driver its not a low midbass driver.
you will find most people that use the IDMAX are running it from at most 50Hz down and no higher.

dont' forget the Adire Brahma! (3 posts in a row now )
www.adireaudio.com
it'll set you back around $950. frmo www.accousticconcepts.com
I'm currently trying to organise better dealership arrangements.

because the distributor won't sell to anyone below RRP, including his dealers?

Mr Bob, get working on Seas and Lotus as well

yup
Seas and Lotus too huh?
i'll add them to my list!

thanks
you know accoustic concepts are the seas lotus dealer as well yeah?...so same guy

yeah, the new lotus 4" midrange has just been recently released.
the lotus 7" driver apparently plays fairly clean midrange will the way up to about 4khz (5khz or more if there is a notch filter...)

so that will be something different
