Would be one of the greatest movies of all time.

i have 2 Neo Subs for my PA Speakers i built myself. They are really nice and lightweight.

Very cool!

One question, are you not using glue on each magnet?

Just wondering what will happen later on if one shifts? Or the whole motor?

Lol, I wanted to, but in case I ever need to make repairs or adjustments later, I don't want them glues because it will make it impossible to get the separated without ruining the entire coating. Trust me, the way a magnets pull force is rated it the theoretical situation of it being connected to a steel ground plate of 1" thickness.......

My base plate is about 0.88" thick so I would be very surprised at any shifting it would do.

My thoughts too... I would use soem epoxy or something in betweent them, and to the bottom and top plate...Make it BULLET proof.

I would, but the precision that I need here is almost unreachable. I can't afford to lock them into place if they're off. Literally I'm going for less than 0.1" of space between the coil and the magnets and the coil and the top plate. I'm sure it will be the biggest PITA, but I didn't drop $3k to make a safety sub.

Yeah I wanted to last night but the card was only 1.86GB and kept shutting off without warning. So this morning my boss came over to help paint my moms room and I had to have him help me combine the 2 largest magnets and of course the camera stopped rolling without telling me so I missed the whole thing, so I just went out 10 minutes ago and I bought a 8GB card, just for you guys.

So as apologizes for my missing of the initial magnet combination heres some early pics.

Broke on Impact lol

First attempts at getting the bottom magnet on..........yeah it dents steel like a badass

With the VC on:

This is the top plate with the voicecoil sitting tightly inside, the machine shop was off from my specified 3.35" inner diameter cutout, it's actually only 3.29" so I'll have to make due

Aligning the magnets to my best abilities.......

/\ Lol, might wanna call the nearest richter scale site and let them know it's just you, that volcano isn't acting up yet

[Dwn4BassAlan]

Oh my god you guys, I'm about to take the craziest video, you will literally not believe the force the thing gives off. Give me like 10 minutes lol, it's gonna be so worth it.

Edit: My elderly, arthritic dog is laying over the leg of my desk chair so I'm trapped ATM, please hold until she gets up to do something else.

I don't dare disturb her, she has a hard enough time laying down so I don't want to move her. she would say sorry if she could.
