Image Dynamics has introduced their 12-inch IDMAX subwoofer which boasts a true 1000-Watt (EIA standard) RMS power capability — yes, RMS not "peak," — and a 1 Watt / 1 Meter efficiency of 93 dB thanks to it's low moving mass construction. This efficiency, added to over 2.25 inches of linear SPL-producing peak-to-peak excursion, results in BIG BASS while preserving the Hi-Fi quality detail that many long excursion woofers misplace.Through the use of ID's patent pending RaDiaToR(c) (Radiant Diametric Torsional Reinforcement) system, the IDMAX beats the heat and keeps the beat without the added detail-robbing mass. The RaDiaToR is just that — a radiator that removes voice-coil-destroying heat from the motor assembly by increasing radiant surface area, while the reinforcement ribs, doubling as piston reinforcement, act as air channels to supplement heat removal.
The RaDiaToR is integrated with ID's new low mass, three-layer, structural-cored composite piston and exclusive Unisurround' V1.1, a new, variable-profile, one-piece synthetic surround that enables the IDMAX12to maintain a larger than standard piston area for a twelve with a eleven inch cut-out, but with more than double the excursion, capable of displacing more sub-bass producing air than many 15 inch subwoofers!
The IDMAX12 is available in D4 (dual 4-ohm) and D2 (dual 2-ohm) models with a suggested retail of $449 and can be purchased at authorized Image Dynamics dealers now. To find a dealer near you call Image Dynamics at 800-836-3051.
