ya those boxes will work if you look over at the tech page on the id home page Matt has a couple box designs for the the max in pdf format

 

Tell me more about the v2 -> v3 recone please?

Thanks.

 

I would either call or email ID directly for the info. Also eric stevens is on this site however I'm not to sure what his screen names is tho.

 

V2 and V3 share the same motor structure and voice coil but completely different soft parts.

V3 has lower Fs and larger VAS with slightly more moving mass.

You need to model yours as a V.3. V.3 in smaller ported boxes has mostly the same performance as V.2 but want a larger optimal ported enclosure and lower tuned frequency.

So can I turn my v.2 with dead coil(s) into v.3?

 

Good. Thanks for the input guys. I just wanted to make sure because that is how I bought the sub and just wanted to build the correct sized box. So it's basically a V3... period.

 

Yes sir.....correct.

 

Hi, i am having a problem with an idmax i have owned for awhile, i dont know if its a v1 or v2....has triple stacked magnet. my cone got busted in an accident so i bought a kit recently from a dealer but with the shims i cannot get the coil to go in the gap, i dont want to force it. i was wondering if there are issues with using a v3 kit on a v2 or v1 sub motor. the coil former is the same size but the coil wire looks a little bigger as well as is overall a little thicker. Any advice would be greatly appreciated....thanks

 

Have you cleaned the inside of the motor out?

perhaps, some alcohol on a rag and then some high pressure air to blow it out with.

 

Yes i have cleaned it out with alcohol and inspected it

the gap,its really clean. the issue i am getting isnt coil rubbing but it just cant go in with the supplied shims. without the shims it goes in fine but the new coil id definitely a bit bigger than the prior coil i had. the busted kit goes in fine with the shims.

 

Hey seen your post about the V3 im looking into buying a blown 12'' IDMAX V3 D4 ohm what size coil is in that? more specs the better to help me out. form height, coil size inner and outer, wind height wire size and all that good stuffssss.. thanks guys im trying to price out the total build to see if its worth my time
