Replaced my DDs with IDMAXs
I replaced my DD3510Cs with a pair of IDMAX 10s. They are much taller and have a slightly larger cutout so the only thing i could do without rebuilding my box was to build a pair of spacers. I machined some spacers out of 1 1/4" thick acrylic blocks. I have not decided if i am going to polish them or leave them hazy yet...

i was trying to get a picture where you can see everything with less flash as the box is black but with a flash it makes it look a lot lighter than it really is, it came out alright with really the box the only thing in focus

Hmmm, nobody's asked, but how do you like them in comparison to the DD's?
Personally, I'm very impressed with my little ID 8's!!

these are much more SQ oriented then the DDs. They have a Fs that is about 12 hz lower and can produce the low notes much cleaner and louder. They DDs are very nice woofers but i really needed a slightly bigger box then i have room for, but they can handle more power then the IDmaxs. I am somewhat pushing it with 1000 watts to each one which is the RMS so i am breaking them in slowly and not trying to go overboard yet. overall i am very happy with the switch as my system is more SQ oriented with my 3 way front stage actively xoved by my Audiocontrol DQX which also has a 30 band eq which is still currently flat as i have not had the time or a real mic to RTA it and tune it properly.
