The pros of a flat wound aluminum coil are: they can normally handle more heat. Which in return gives you a voice coil that will handle more power. The aluminum wound coil will also be a bit lighter in weight. The cons of a flat wound coil is: Its aluminum and my result in a lower BL vs the copper, and may not sound as good as a copper wound coil (so if your going for SQ, you may want copper) however you said they are RE motors so I highly doubt SQ is in mind. But these things change from one woofer/coil brand to another. The average person can not really tell the difference between the 2 coils, and would go with whats cheaper if your on a budget. You can simply google it and see many asking the same questions. However many of the replies favor one over the other and vice versa. It really comes down to the speaker, what maybe louder in one sub, maybe quieter in another sub. http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUS276&=&q=copper+vs+aluminum+voice+coils&aq=0v&aqi=g-v1&aql=&oq=copper+vs+aluminum+v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
