Two ID Max's i know of that blew because something touched the cone..

Mine:

first time i had some groceries in the trunk (yeah you try telling yoru woman no) and it touched the speaker.. luckly i pulled over and by 10 mins it came back on..

the second time i didn't bother and it blew my ID Max D4 v2

same thing happend to my cousin's ID Max also.

just letting you guys know...

well just like the rest of my car. when something blows... time to replace it with more

inspite of my luck with ID Max.. i am going to buy (2) 12" ID Max D4 v3's

 

What about some grills? There's a ton of nice looking grills out there now... Or make your own somehow...

 

I would be worried with some of these high excursion speakers coming into contact with the grille...unless they make grilles designed for these really long throw subs.

 

I highly doubt that the woofer has that much excursion that the cone will make contact with a grill cover, I could maybe see the surround. Obcon makes a cool grill cover that is Plex and only covers a small area of the cone surface, enough to protect it and looks great.

 

My bad, I meant the surround...though I could see something like an ED sub slapping cone with a grille.

 

lol why would you buy them again if u destroyed them the first time seems odd to me

 

i have a idmax 12d4 v3 with a q logic grill, i think i need a bigger box, can you guys post some pics of your setup and the cu.ft. of your box

 

because i loved how they sound.. excellent SQ and SPL .. and now i know what i did wrong .. i know better
