Need Home Subwoofer Design for Image Dynamics 15

[livern98]

I have been holding onto a pair of 15" Image Dynamics IDQ15 D4 Subs for a while meaning to use them in a Home Wrecker Decware designed enclosure. I also have a pair of 2000 year model Orion HCCA 12D subwoofers that I can use. I want to build a home subwoofer with serious bass using either of these drivers but I've heard that the Home Wrecker design isn't as good as it sounds. I would appreciate any ideas from you guys as I am new to building my own home audio.

Image Dynamics IDQ15 D4 v2
Fs = 21.5
Qes = .309
Qms = 6.1
Qts = .280
Vas = 258 liters
Xmax = 13.5mm (linear excursion)
Xlim = 25mm
Sd = 840cm^2
Spl = 94.7 dB
Power = 800 watts program

Welcome.
There are tons of calcs that help you figure your enclosure out, online.. Speaker Enclosure Volume Calculator

I would just design your own, If it were me I would go 32 X 32 X 36 {id} and put the subs back to back firing one forward and one backward. Then power them with a crown 2500 and call it a day... make the 2 baffles out of double 3/4 and brace the cocky out of it..

Me likey IDq's! Heard plenty. Great subs. I've got the IDmax 12 in my car right now. Purely sq setup, but it can get down if needed for sure

I've given some serious though to making my own HT/Music sub too. Finding a 13w7/w6 or a couple 12" Idmaxs' would be crazy
