wanting to make my own coils

[skittlesRgood]

No company hand winds their own coils. LOL I hope your joking.

There's specific companies that use machinery to make the coils on formers, and they distribute them to the sub makers.

i know of a guy who winds his own coils but i cant remember who it was...

Fixmyspeaker.com isn't a buildhouse.

They simply recones sub.

Also, a few years ago, RD Audio claimed to wind there own coils. But it turned out to be a lie.

But youtube the how its made, loudspeaker. There is a short clip in that video of a voicecoil being made.

But IMO, its not as easy as pie. And going to a coil buildhouse would be simpler, and cost less.

Precision Ecowound(spelling) is one of the best coil makers I believe.

There's another one, a sister company that Precision but I can't think of its name.

You would actually be surprised at my ratio of good post vs "flame" post as you say.

grammar and spelling is still an 8O% failure though

but it fits the red neck title perfectly.

I agree, that post I just made wasn't proper at all.

I reread it, and asked myself WTF was I thinking when I wrote that.

To late though, but at least it got the point across, so that's all that matters.

I've rewound a coil by hand. It is the coil I'm using on my extreme 5.25", it uses a alpine type E motor and a rewound coil, as the old one was fried.

I don't see why people are telling him not to do it? Let him try it by hand, he will soon find out how hard it is to do. But it doesn't mean it can't work, I used wire recycled from a old transformer (so it had little bends in it) which I straightened out as best as I could, then hand wound it on the former, while gluing with quick drying epoxy. It probably took me 1 and a half hours to do a 4 layer coil. It was then unwound down to a 2 layer coil to fit in the gap better.

It's not that hard to make a machine to wind them either. Look at that video, it's just a special lathe, but minus the cutting equipment mounts. Just get metal pipes with the correct diameter to make a certain sized coil, build a new speed controller to drive the motor at a lower speed, and then the wire spool holder, and winding device. You just set it up and brush on epoxy as it winds it.

At the dude who said something about building your own amp, so what? Why not? Maybe don't try and build a 10k amp from scratch, but you can get home audio amplifier kits, I have one for a 200 watt RMS ultra low distortion monoblock (or build 2 for stereo of course) it was easy enough to make.

Just take it one step at a time, and don't discourage people from trying new things.
