Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 2252 Registered: Aug-04 | Yeah, you gotta remember price as well. I would say if you have the funds, go with the ID MAX. Superb sq. If you just want something loud then save your money and get the Avalanche, especially at the price it's at right now. ID MAX's can be had for under $300 shipped easily off Ebay. |

Silver Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 335 Registered: Sep-04 | i could agree on the SQ of the id max but do you really think the idmax has more spl? i would think tha avalanche has to be atleast equal if not louder. it has more xmax and if you put 1000 watts to it like the idmax needs i would think the avalanche would be louder.... but im just guessing i really dont know. oh and one crazy fact.... i e-mailed teamtoxicbass aobut pete's avalanche setup... he said he runs 2000 watts to each avalanche daily and 4000 watt burps each sub!!! thats insane! |

Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 2256 Registered: Aug-04 | Well, you gotta remember ID MAX's have pretty thin surrounds, and in effect have a greater cone area. I know we had a discussion about ID MAX's, XXX's, and Brahma's a while ago. Most people said the ID MAX would sound the best but also have the least SPL, but Jonathan said the ID MAX's can get very loud if set up properly. The xmax difference between the Avalanche and the ID MAX is pretty minimul, shouldn't make a big difference. Since the ID MAX has a larger cone area, it can displace more than the Avalanche, even if it has a higher xmax. It takes quite an increase in linear excursion to match the gains from a larger cone diameter. |

I can get IDmax for $299 each from http://www.infinitecaraudio.com/ which is at my range but if I could still get 2 ava's and they gonna perform about the same I could save some loot. And is that even enough to drive those Avalanche's? |

Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 2258 Registered: Aug-04 | Only problem is that the Avalanches are Dual 2 ohm only, wich wouldn't work the greatest with that amp. You'd only be giving 400 wrms to each sub. The ID MAX's would work the best, just get two Dual 4 ohm versions. 800 wrms will run an ID MAX nicely. |

Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 3898 Registered: May-04 | The Avalanche works best sealed and would give best results at high volumes in a sealed box. The ID Max works well in both, but absolutely screams ported, ported to ported it would outperform the Avalanche. And yes, the ID Max does get quite loud and linearly outdisplaces a Brahma and other similar subwoofers. Both the ID Max and Avalanche are very efficient for the power given. Choose based on the enclosure you intend. |
