This enclosure holds 0.75 cu ft net . In it the Image Dynamics IDMAX10 V4 D2 runs a system Qtc of 1.01 with half power at 35.0 Hz, and the cone reaches its 19.0 mm travel limit at 668 W, above the driver’s 500 W thermal rating, so heat stops you before travel does. Run a subsonic filter at 25 Hz and that becomes 721 W , +53 W, or 8 percent more power for the same 19.0 mm of travel.

01Is it a sealed driver?

Efficiency bandwidth product places the motor before anything else is decided.

EBP = Fs ÷ Qes = 38.4
SEALED 0–50 TRANSITION 50–100 PORTED 100–150 0 50 100 150 Dual 2 Ohm 38.4
Dual 2 Ohm · EBP 38.4
EBP under 50 means a motor that wants a sealed load. The Image Dynamics IDMAX10 V4 D2 sits at 38.4, inside that band, which is why this is a sealed build rather than a ported one.

02What the box does to it

Dual 2 Ohm · Qtc 1.01, Fc 45 Hz, F3 35.0 Hz
The box lifts resonance from 27.0 Hz free-air to 45 Hz and half power lands at 35.0 Hz, anechoic, before any cabin gain.

03The watts that reach Xmax (in this enclosure)

Travel scales with the square root of power, so there is one wattage that puts the cone exactly on 19.0 mm , and a bigger one once a subsonic filter stops it wasting travel below the passband.

PXmax = 668 W unfiltered  →  721 W with a 25 Hz subsonic

Dual 2 Ohm · 668 W, no filterDual 2 Ohm · 721 W with subsonic at 25 Hz, 24 dB/octXmax 19.0 mm one-way
Every trace touches the limit and no further, because each is drawn at the exact power that puts that coil on 19.0 mm. Unfiltered that is 668 W, reached first at 32 Hz. It sits above the 500 W the driver can take thermally, so the voice coil gives up before the suspension does. The dashed traces are the same driver behind a subsonic filter at 25 Hz, 24 dB/oct: stopping the cone wasting travel below the passband lets it take 721 W before hitting the same 19.0 mm. That is 8 percent more amplifier for the price of one filter setting.

From the shop floor

Installer's take

I built this box because Image Dynamics say plainly that the IDMAX10 wants a sealed enclosure, and a Qtc of 1.01 is what a small, tight sealed box gives it.

Their own manual has three sealed sizes for this driver, and this cabinet sits between the middle and the largest of the three once you account for the driver's own displacement. It is not the biggest box you could put this driver in, but it is a sealed box, which is what the manufacturer specifies.

Wire the D2 coil in series for a nominal 4 ohms, or parallel for 1 ohm only on an amplifier rated for that load.

It ships with polyfill inside, the way every sealed box in this line does. Set your high-pass filter between 20 and 25 Hz and let the sealed box do the rest.

How it's built

Construction

Custom-Tuned Design for IDMAX 10" Subwoofer

Custom-Tuned Design for IDMAX 10" Subwoofer

Optimized for Maximum Performance

The enclosure is designed specifically for the Image Dynamics IDMAX 10" subwoofer. This custom-tuned construction ensures the subwoofer operates at peak efficiency, delivering crisp, accurate bass. The internal volume is meticulously calculated to enhance the subwoofer's output. This guarantees your audio system sounds as it was meant to.

Compact and Space-Efficient Design

Compact and Space-Efficient Design

Minimal Space, Maximum Impact

Despite its compact profile, the enclosure is engineered for big sound. The design maximizes every cubic inch to deliver powerful bass performance. This makes it an excellent choice for smaller vehicles or users with limited space. No compromises are made on sound quality, even with the efficient size.

Acoustic Precision and Sound Isolation

Acoustic Precision and Sound Isolation

Tight, Focused Sound

The sealed enclosure design keeps the bass response tight and controlled. Unlike vented designs, this approach avoids excessive air movement that can muddy sound clarity. The result is a balanced bass output that integrates seamlessly with the rest of the audio system. This ensures users experience a cohesive and immersive soundstage.

Professional Appearance

Sleek Design

The enclosure’s clean lines and carpet finish offer a professional, polished look. This aesthetic complements most vehicle interiors, adding a touch of sophistication to any setup. It’s designed to appeal to users who value both form and function. The appearance reflects the high-quality construction and engineering.

Questions

Why is this driver in a sealed enclosure?

A Qtc of 1.01 is a tight, slightly peaked alignment: it trades away the last bit of low-end reach for a smaller box and a punchier, more controlled sound, and it sits close to what Image Dynamics call their Universal tier for this driver. Their own manual lists three sealed volumes for the IDMAX10, a Compact box at 42 Hz, a Universal box at 39 Hz, and an Audiophile box at 37 Hz, all measured gross including the driver's own displacement. This cabinet's 0.75 cubic feet net comes out to a little under seven-eighths of a cubic foot gross, which lands between their Universal and Audiophile figures. F3 on this box works out to 35.0 Hz.

What makes this Professional rather than Performance Optimized?

The box. A Performance Optimized cabinet is cut to fit a trunk shape on a 1.5 inch double baffle; this one is a full-size front-firing box on a 2.25 inch triple baffle with the woofer flush-mounted in the outer layer, Image Dynamics logo acrylic. It carries a 2 year warranty against 1.

Threaded inserts or a kit?

Threaded inserts pressed into the baffle on the published 10.528 inch bolt circle, stainless machine screws included. The inserts are in the baffle when it arrives; the machine screws are in the terminal cup bag.

Do I need a subsonic filter?

Not for this sealed alignment; a 20 to 25 Hz high-pass only protects the driver from content below the cabinet's own roll-off.

Would a ported version be better for me?

It depends what you want from it. A ported box gives up nothing above its tuning frequency and adds output below it, at the cost of a subsonic filter and a fixed vent length. This alignment is sealed at Qtc 1.01, F3 35.0 Hz, 0.750 cu ft net: flatter group delay and a gentler rolloff, with less output at the very bottom of the band.

Why sealed for this driver?

How heavy is it and how does it ship?

26 lb, 20.00" W x 13.00" H x 10.00" D external. It ships as a UPS parcel; the price includes shipping in the 48 states. The box ships with polyfill installed; do not remove it.

Is the IDMAX10 V4 included?

No. This is an enclosure only, cut for the Image Dynamics IDMAX10 V4 specifically: the 9.646 inch cutout and the 7.598 inch mounting depth allowance come from Image Dynamics's published parameters. Bring your own driver.
