Alumapro makes some nice free air stuff.

Image Dynamics also, as kietlander stated. It would be pretty sick if you are willing to slap on an idmax 12!

If that amp does 800 wrms, it should be fine for an idmax, keep in mind that when you go freeair, the sub becomes much more efficient.

What do you mean? more efficient.Is the idmax a free air sub,their website says that the 10" is the only free air sub avalible from image dynamics.

Go to the enclosure specs. for the idmax 12, it works with infinite baffle (aka freeair).

Also, since the "air" behind the speaker is much larger (compared to a box) the cone can move much more easily in a freeair application. If you compare sealed v.s. ported enclosures, the ported enclosure is more efficient, because the air moves out more freely, as opposed to a sealed box.
