W-7 vs ID-Max
#1
How do they compare....looking at a 12 in a 91 Firebird. Memory tells me the funky hatch box has about 2.5 ft to port with.
Gonna be using around a Jonah Lomu 2011D amp.
Around 850 RMS into 2 ohms, 700 into 3 ohms at 12.6 volts
The W-7 is mo money and has a 3 ohm load, so a bit tougher to get the power, but does it sound better?

the W7 has a big response spike @ approx 40 Hz, so it sounds really loud, the IDmax has a much flatter response curve to it. plus the IDmax is about half the price of the W7, and will wail at 850 RMS (you could put 2 of them in a 2.5 cube sealed enclosure, and they'd stil play hard at 850 RMS, they're just that efficient)
overall, W7? meh, not worth it, even at half the price, the IDmax is definitely worth the dollars.

That's kinda my opinion too, but have never played with the W-7 yet.
Did a Max 12 in a Tiberon with the same amp and it's sweet'n low, and loud.
Should be even better with the horn effect in the Firechicken.
Two sealed will add 1/2 a $k to the price and only save a couple hours on the box..will that be worth the extra $400?

I went sealed with two 12's for my 1991 GTA. I was happiest with that setup after trying numerous enclosures.
It was built as an SQ car but still did 144dB certified on the mic of the 1998 era.
Two IDQ 12's sealed would be very nice. I have also heard good things regarding the AVI SLS-300 and two of those should work nicely on that amp as well.
Just a couple idea's.

With the better warranty now offered by the good folks at Kankar, and the new lower prices, I'm leaning towards the Max, if only to try to meet the customer's budget.
Do you think two of em sealed would go as loud as 1 ported?
1.25 ft each seems a bit on the small side to retain the low end.
