Homemade Super-Neo Woofer: THE CHEVELLE RESTORATION IS DONE, dampener recommendations??

You might have the magnets "upside down"

Neither phase nor magnet orientation would cause the sub to suck in.

I'd be willing to bet it's because of the weight of the cone / loose suspension. Sometimes it's a box design too

Try this: Flip the box upsideown so the sub is facing down and see if it pushes out this time

Technically that depends what is causing the sub to "suck down". If its the coil being energized then its magnetic pole direction, but then the movement would likely also be continuous rather than changing direction. Given that the battery test works fine i'm inclined to believe its not the issue at hand though.

Since there is no external magnet structure and the coil material may be acting as an insulator to the magnetic/coil fields there may be an issue there. Alternately it could just be the amp. Maybe even the coils were wound differently to each other so there is more material from one than the other that is lower or higher..

You insult my coil-winding?!!? jk, It probably could be that, it was my first coil so I'm sure it ain't perfect, but the coils are pretty much even from what I know......

Could even be some of the enamel flaked off during winding allowing them to short.. coils are finicky things.

Also I meant the coil former before when I mentioned insulation, not the coil windings themselves.

It's just an anodized aluminum former? don't some professional companies use aluminum too? I would be surprised if the enamel came off too, it took me a while to get them bare on the leads, doubt guiding it with my finger would have compromised it, but it's definitely possible.....

New beast magnets are in, but until I finish the separation tool, they're gonna stay wrapped, to avoid killing anyone who drives by in a large-surface-area metal truck lol

JK ITS A BOX OF POPCORN!

sike....

maybe it chaffed on the former somewhere?

anyways, its just a classroom thing now so its not a big deal

Mr.warren wasn't there today, he got strep throat, so I still have V.1, I want to use the magnets for the V.2 anyway so hopefully he forgets lol

if you want to completely crush every bone in your hand, please come try to separate them by hand for me lol

Just Karate Chop the foam between them really hard if your lucky you will not lose fingers and they will be perfectly aligned

also I'm more or less still a noob when it comes to real spiders, how many do you think I should be stacking for this? I got a deal on 2 of the same spiders that Fi and DC apparently use. Don't take my word for it, that's just what it said. I have 2, but will that be enough for 2000W rms?
