B-Sh0t Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Yeah, I don't know why there doesn't seem to be any other cone designs. I would personally like to see a dimpled cone tried, but maybe that would cause some wave cancellation? http://www.sony.co.uk/hub/car-audio-systems/in-car-entertainment-range/car-speakers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truthsayer Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 If you watch nova, there have been some very cool advances coming to the electronic industry. One of the coolest is cold lead infused steal. which is 900 percent more efficient than copper. It's some pretty cool shit what they are learning they can do with the 0 kelvin technologies. But i would expect due to cost at the present it will be 10 yrs before we see any benefits in the audio world. truthsayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofanaticz Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 I wonder why speaker creaters didn't merge to the square concept of the solo baric speakers as a platform. to what I hear they do move great amount of air cause of the shape. Because square speakers have square voice coils, and can only be powered by square waves.. Which makes it insanely expensive to manufacture square woofers..... Seriously tho, the slight gain of cone area from a square woofer to a round woofer is not worth it. The square woofers have 90degree corners, which means 90 degree surrounds in said corners, and it limits the xmax of the driver especially at higher excursion due to the lack of movement on the inner half of the surround in the corners (closest to the cone). Ive seen many square style woofers besides kicker with surrounds that have came unattached. The size of the cone does not matter as much as people think it does, (meaning a 12 inch square vs a 12 inch round woofer). If it came down to the amount of cone area on said woofer, and that was the factor in moving more air, that would result in any 12 inch round woofer not being able to move as much air as said square woofer, and thats far from true or even being plausible.
