Building A Sub-woofer: How To Wind A Coil To Desired Resistance?

R=(PxL)/A

R=resistance

P=resistivity (which is different with each type of material, just look it up, table of resistivities .)

L= length of the wire

A=crossectional area of the wire (Pi x radius x radius)

You first have to decide how high the coil can be and how wide it can be.

For instance if you have a 3 inch coil, the lenght per winding is 2 x Pi x radius. (2*1.5*Pi=9.24)

So each winding will be 9.24 inch long.

Then you just determine which lenght of wire you need based on of this information.

(i didn't include all the steps, if you search you can easily find everything you need or by just thinking about what i typed.)

Just make sure the wire you use is insulated.

Yeah for sure, what is Pi exactly? lol If i can understand its value I might be able to figure it. out.thats not all steps? what exaxtly would i search on google.? Thanks man

bump

quit bumping this thread it doesn't need to be bumped.

Damn Steve, alright my question is now answered I believe, sorry.
