Car: Ford Fiesta 2000
System: Directed 250 amp powering Rainbow Pros, Directed 400 for IDMAX10
Music: Tracy Chapman-esque stuff, Wooseys Bass CD, Hip Hop, Rock,you name it
Well as you may or may not know I have had temporary use of an IDMAX10. Some of you sawheard it at T9.
This was lent to me to tide me over and was not designed to work with the Directed 400 - infact it is currently wired to 8ohm :eek: and it is getting somewhere in the region of 200w rms.
I am well impressed with what this sub can do with only 200w, proving how efficient it is. The volume was very good, although you just knew it was craving more.
It really did feel like a sub that wanted to kick the sh1t out of my car, glad I didnt have 1kw to give it as the car was rattling plenty!!!
It is running sealed in a 1cu ft box (with perspex window and washers stuck to magnet - TB3's installation not mine :p ) and running sealed I didnt expect much low end.
Wrong! Some of the test tunes on Wooseys Bass CD really did drop and the sub handled them all well. No lag, just clean tight bass. Volume did drop off but thats to be expected with that amount of power.
Playing tracey chapman the sub really did calm itself down and blended well with the front end, sounding much warmer and less like a little rabbit on heat :D
When I mentioned I had this to people they said I wouldnt be able to give it back. I can, but only cause Matt knows where I live and looks like he can put up a good fight :D
Overall: 9.9 out of 10!!
