MACnonsence6 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) should all of the 3 magnets be aligned perfectly or is it ok if they are slightly off like maybe 1 or 2 pieces of paper width this pic makes it look worse then it is but when i look in between the gap it doesnt apear as though the coil would touch anything everything inside the gap looks like it would be ok. but im not sure id get a pic but i cant really get one of the gap. im starting to freak cause idk if im gona be able to use this motor the guy i bought them from on caco had good itrader feedback and never said anything about one being shifted i just paid 90 for 2 se motors someone please help.

Forevrbumpn Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I just bought some Soundstream SPL160 motors from CACO, and dude said they were good, but he shipped them in a flat rate box, both motors, one box, and nothing but newspaper for packing. I received both motors shifted. Iam hella pissed about it, Iam seeing how dude takes care of this though. On your motors, the gap is pretty big, if it shifted, you would see a obvious issue with the top plate to much to one side, or the magnets really off center I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.

MACnonsence6 Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 these were wraped in bubble wrap and had styrofoam all around it. if it was shifted and unusable i should be able to look in the gap and notice right? it should be pretty obvious shouldnt it? in looking inside the gap everything looks alright to me but idk i wish i could get a better pic I picked up an MTX Sw1212 powered subwoofer today.

Forevrbumpn Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 yeah, its just the gap, if you can slide a coil in and out freely with about 0.015 on the inside, and out you should be good. Sometimes when motors are assembled they are glued together with instant glue, well, takes about 10-20 seconds and if they are not held in place strait by then, the magnet will seem a little off center. Also there is casting variances too, magnets can be slightly oblong and not match the other magnets perfectly I have a ritual called "terminator".

MACnonsence6 Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) k i need you guys to do ur best to try and understand what im saying here not the middle part wich is the slug? right but i can take a tooth pick and slid it in and out pressed firm against the outside radias of the slug? if that makes sence the place where it would hit if it was shifted but i can do that up and down threw out the gab and i dont hit anything and my other motor i got from the guy is nice and smooth not like this one.

Forevrbumpn Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 when a motor shifts, a motor like that will pull with about 250lbs of force. So VARY rarely does a motor almost shift, and stop halfway through, it fully shifts. I have seen magnets shift while charging them at my old job, and it can be pretty dramatic, the whole woofer assembly could jump about 6" I was charging a motor like this once, and right in front of me, the top assembly, top plate frame, and soft parts jumped up away from the magnets, and got stuck on to the ferrite in a 90deg angle. Ferrite exploded and got everywhere So, even though that magnet may have a slight gap in it due to a glue clump, possible from being shifted before, and fixed, or weather its just a ferrite defect, the main problem will be if the top plate get sucked over to the pole piece ^ serious run on sentence's, dont talk sht lol I have a ritual called "terminator".

Forevrbumpn Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 lol.. ok and actually that 250lbs of pull is actually underrated, there could be up to 750lbs of pull depending on the magnet, and steel I have a ritual called "terminator".
