I'd be guaranteed to shock myself and most likely start an electrical fire along the way lol

According to Mehdi its much simpler than you think.

If anyone wants to get an idea of the Neodymium magnets they are in computer hard drives they control the needle for the disc so if you've got an old hard drive get it they are pretty fun and can lift alot more than you think

that video was pretty dam funny

how well does the stretched inner tube work? I'd be a bit worried with no roll to the surround.

I'm sure you can get teflon sheeting like sheets of paper, just roll it up and slide it in/over the magnets.

As to your new magnets, can you have a machine shop center-bore them? You could slide a bolt through center to align them while stacking them.

Watch your fingers, that much pull power is liable to break shit if you get your fingers between the magnets during assembly.

Maybe try using bungee cords for the spider. They're pretty cheap and should be significantly more durable.

I'm still working on getting it back together. I must have eaten something last night in my snacking that had gone bad, because I've been sick all night and morning. But I just started working again. I'll see soon enough.

Yeah, unfortunately the tire was 12", and in order to secure it to the rim I had to stretch it as far as possible so there was no room for a roll.

But when it comes to neodymium magnets you can definitely NOT machine shop bore them yourself, unless you own a crapload of expensive milling machinery.

They are way too brittle to just drill into, you would crack it without question. But they sell these types with the holes bored into them, but they're much more expensive, to have been able to get the same amount of magnet pre-drilled, I would have spent about $400. If you machined them yourself I would imagine that you would need A way of bracing both sides of the magnet without cracking it, then you would probably want to start with a 1/32" drill bit, then go up by tiny increments to your desired size. But even if you drilled them yourself, you would remove the coating protecting it from rust, and now they would rust from the inside out with and exposed core.

And I think bungee cords are my next move lol, these rubber bands are pissing me off.

Thats why I said to have a machine shop do it, and you can coat the hole afterwards ; )

I have a milling machine...

I don't have thousands of dollars of electrical machinery that it would take to coat it lol

thousands of dollars??

no, glue!

[Dwn4BassAlan]

glue nickel plating onto my magnets? sounds promising lol

Not that I couldn't do it. In fact I'm pretty confident in my ability to get it done. But I'm not sure I really WANT to put that much effort and expensive into getting everything I would need to make a very powerful one.

That guy has some pretty cool vids!

[Dwn4BassAlan]

I'll have the final video up at about 12-ish. Prepare your eyes for some real woofer flexing sexyness.

P.S is there anyone who lives in the beach cities who owns a TL? I don't have one or the money for the equipment.....

[gally]

off topic...but i thing that the new sundown sorrounds(the X series i think) would be pretty cool on that ˝homemeade˝ sub to see...
