Product Information

Overview

    The Perfect Balance of Performance and Value

    The Image Dynamics ID12 V4 12-inch subwoofer represents the culmination of decades of acoustic engineering excellence from one of car audio's most respected brands. Designed for the discerning audio enthusiast who demands exceptional sound quality without breaking the bank, this fourth-generation ID Series subwoofer delivers impressive low-frequency extension, detailed bass reproduction, and remarkable output capability at an accessible price point. The ID12 V4 carries forward Image Dynamics' legacy of producing subwoofers that excel in both music reproduction and bass-heavy applications, making it a versatile addition to any audio system.

    Advanced Engineering for Superior Sound

    At the heart of the ID12 V4's performance is its optimized motor structure, which utilizes finite element analysis to achieve symmetrical and extended linear excursion. This precise engineering allows the subwoofer to maintain control and clarity even during demanding bass passages. The lightweight yet rigid Poly/Mica cone material strikes the ideal balance between strength and responsiveness, ensuring accurate sound reproduction across the entire frequency range. Paired with a durable rubber surround and Nomex spider, the ID12 V4 delivers tight, controlled bass with exceptional detail and minimal distortion, even when pushed to high output levels.

    Versatile Installation Options

    One of the ID12 V4's standout features is its ability to perform exceptionally well in virtually any enclosure type. Whether installed in a sealed box for tight, accurate bass, a ported enclosure for enhanced output and low-end extension, or even a bandpass configuration for maximum efficiency, this subwoofer maintains its sound quality characteristics across different installations. This versatility makes the ID12 V4 an ideal choice for audio enthusiasts who value flexibility and may want to experiment with different enclosure designs to match their specific listening preferences and vehicle constraints. The subwoofer's efficient design also allows it to deliver impressive performance even when paired with modest amplifier power.

    Features:

    Poly/Mica Composite Cone

    The ID12 V4 features a carefully engineered Poly/Mica composite cone that combines the lightweight characteristics of polypropylene with the rigidity of mica reinforcement. This specialized material provides the ideal balance of strength and responsiveness, allowing for strong, distortion-free bass reproduction while still capturing all the musical nuances in your audio. The composite construction resists flexing during high-output situations, maintaining accuracy even when reproducing demanding bass passages, and ensuring longevity through countless hours of play time without degradation in performance.

    Optimized Motor Structure

    At the core of the ID12 V4's performance is its precision-engineered motor assembly, designed using advanced finite element analysis to achieve symmetrical and extended linear excursion. This optimization results in significantly reduced distortion and improved transient response—crucial factors in accurate bass reproduction. The extended Y-35 motor structure enhances magnetic force and improves overall driver efficiency, providing the necessary control for articulate bass across the entire operating range. This advanced motor design ensures the subwoofer delivers consistent performance whether reproducing subtle acoustic bass lines or powerful electronic beats.

    Hybrid Progressive Spider

    The ID12 V4 incorporates a specialized Nomex spider with a hybrid progressive design that provides varying levels of compliance throughout its range of motion. This sophisticated suspension component delivers precise cone control at high volumes while still maintaining the sonic details at lower listening levels, giving you the best of both worlds. The spider includes integrated tinsel leads that eliminate potential failure points and reduce mechanical noise. This thoughtful design element contributes significantly to the subwoofer's ability to produce clean, detailed bass across all power levels.

    Thermal Management System

    Equipped with a BASV voice coil former and efficient ventilation design, the ID12 V4 excels at dissipating heat generated during extended play sessions. This comprehensive thermal management system prevents power compression—the loss of output that occurs as voice coils heat up—ensuring consistent performance even during prolonged high-output use. The heat-dissipating design extends the subwoofer's operational lifespan by reducing thermal stress on critical components, while also allowing you to enjoy your music for extended periods without performance degradation. This feature is particularly valuable when the subwoofer is pushed near its power handling limits.

    Multi-Enclosure Versatility

    One of the ID12 V4's most practical advantages is its exceptional performance across different enclosure types. Unlike subwoofers that are optimized for only one specific enclosure design, the ID12 V4 maintains its sound quality characteristics whether installed in sealed, ported, or bandpass enclosures. This versatility allows you to select the enclosure type that best suits your space constraints and sonic preferences without compromising performance. Sealed enclosures provide tight, accurate bass response, while ported designs deliver enhanced output and deeper extension—and the ID12 V4 excels in either configuration.

    Efficient Performance

    The ID12 V4 is engineered to deliver impressive bass output even when paired with modest amplifier power. Its efficient design reaches satisfying volume levels with as little as 100 watts RMS, while handling up to 400 watts for more demanding applications. This efficiency makes the subwoofer an excellent choice for factory audio system upgrades where amplifier power may be limited, yet still allows for system expansion as your audio journey evolves. The broad power handling range provides flexibility in amplifier selection and system design, accommodating both entry-level and more sophisticated audio setups.
