BJD3 Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) So a heavier motor means more pushing power then? Not necessarily. That stronger motor could be pushing a heavier cone, or it could (and probably does) have a stiffer suspension (spider(s)). Probably shouldn't need to worry about it too much imo. If you want to try something new get the obsidians and give us a review, or get a stand by like some lvl 3's, or sa. You can't really go wrong with any of them. This. AT the same time however, that heavier magnet may not even be as strong as a lighter one. Two things come to mind. Supercharged motors (I know DD has them I think DC does as well) and Neodymium magnets. And if a motor can be "supercharged" then I also would think one can be "undercharged". And pound for pound, generally speaking, neodymium magnets will be stronger than ferrite. Edited August 14, 2011 by BJD3 Quote Anti Peel and Seal...lol You may be offended by the above.

And pound for pound, generally speaking, neodymium magnets will be stronger than ferrite. The Supercharged option for DD subwoofers is a Neo Magnet on the pole piece, and an aluminum piece on top of that (possibly a shortening ring), so the actual Ferrite magnet isn't really supercharged. So I'm not sure about undercharging a motor. Quote Bassless once again. Can't seem to keep a system for more than a few weeks Saving for a '06 Nissan 350z, look for build around June 2012.

And pound for pound, generally speaking, neodymium magnets will be stronger than ferrite. Judging a subwoofer's motor strength on the size or height of the motor is like judging a car's horse power by how it looks. There are too many factors; gap width and height, voice coil windings (material and shape), magnet grade, magnet ID and OD, etc. Quote Electrodynamic Power handling is not a power requirement!

So I will be going with dc level with an extra spider Thanks for all the input Edited August 15, 2011 by toadking90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're eluding to a certain product or company and have concrete evidence to support your jab you should come out and name the company(s) instead of beating around the bush.
