LOL... The 9500 looks pretty beefy, do you know how much a 10 would retail for CDN?

I am still breaking the woofer in, so I don't know how it compares to the W7, BUT, if I cna find the time, I am going to borrow a 12W7 and make a comparison. I think Radioactive has one on the showroom floor. Should only need it for 30 minutes..
That would be really cool. What would be also cool would be a comparison of several subs at once, say IDMAX vs. W7 vs. ED vs. Focal. I'd really be into that.

I would love to do a real cool woofer showdown.. But that takes somer serious time commitment.. After seeing this woofer though, the IDMax did pop into my head as contender.

We'll see, one freebie at a time..
...or maybe a Phase Linear Aliente SI? I have yet to hear one, but I'm curious.

I am temporarily running it with my Memphis 500D as I have the trunk ripped apart, and that amp is nice and small.

Anyways, The woofer I was refering to earlier is none other than the MTX Thunder 9500. I have a single twelve in one of their Sledge Hammer enclosures. Even though it's tuned a little high for my tastes, I am very very impressed with how tight the bass is! wowzers! It's not quite as fast as the Elemental, but both are class-leading! I'm having fun this holiday season!
I'd really like to hear how the O does in a ported application. Ben himself has said that they don't really sound too good ported.

Also if the O is class-leading and comparable the the 9500, maybe you should see if you can get ahold of an A.

When I get my IDMAX you can borrow it Dave... Actually Ron has a 10" IDMAX in the shop right now, I like it!
