That one I posted above isn't mine. . .just one a preludeonline.com owner did. I dont have pics of mine yet. The front on his is actually multiple MDF pieces, with an MDF top and bottom. I think The area around the hinge is all glass though (just to clarify, I did NOT build this one):
The sub on mine IS flush mounted (I also think it looks less like an "afterthought" flushed). I'm also going with an MDF front and top, with a fiberglass recess for the hinge.
EDIT: thanks for the info on the T/S parameters. Has anyone actually bench tested on the determine the actual T/S's (if thats even possible)?
yes the IDMAX has been tested that is how you determin the T/S parameters. we took apart an IDmax in order to see what it was made of. we tested it and found the parameters to be way off. we determined it is because they wanted to be able to compete with other subs on the market as for having the ability to play in a small box. the parameters we got (i dont have in front of me) would have suggested a much larger box to reach a .707 alignment.
i think ID knows a some people know because it was about 5-6 months ago i had found 2 different parameters for the IDmax 12" sub on their website. one set was published in their PDF doccument and another was a set i found that they had a link to where some less favorable parameters titled as bench tested , or inhouse, somthing to the effect that a test was done on the actual driver itself.
anyway these less favorable parameters mysteriously dissappeared after i pointed it out on the net that they had 2 sets of parameters. and FWIW the less favorable ones were the most accurate. they now have a new sub out and possibly that sub is yet a 3rd set of parameters. i have not tested one as of yet but from what i can tell it is pretty similar.
