Purplehaze Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I have been researching this lately, for the build I'm about to begin. If I use a 4 layer flat-wound "stealth" coil, my subs will only be able to take about 2K rms each.But if I use an 8 layer hi-temp alum coil, wrapped on an anodized alum former, my subs will take 3K rms each. Others results may very, but this is how it is for me. Hope that helps.

Dwn4BassAlan Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 How about posting subwoofer questions in the subwoofer section? General audio is not a dumping ground Ok, so just to be sure, everything even related to subwoofer mechanics should go there? I had thought about it but since this isn't a whole/complete brand subwoofer I thought it would be more appropriate to post here.

Everytime I see a guy driving a mini cooper I cant help but think he loves cock & (2/29/16)-My wife just bitched at me about throwing out things we don't really use. My response of well we don't really use your vagina so should we throw that out was evidently not the right response. I had to leave the room. I missed Alan. RIP 5/29/15 - I love you son.

Yeah I need to wind it to handle the 3.5k @1 ohm so I'm basically sure 8-layers will be necessary.

bkolfo4 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 There is more to power handling than just the number of layers. . .diameter, gap size, etc. I am also curious - Do you have 3.5k measured watts, or an amp rated at 3.5k? I would also guess that at 3.5k, the mechanical power handling will be as much or more of an issue than the thermal power handling (assuming the driver is rated to handle 3.5k) for most people building daily music systems. Current system: 1997 Blazer - (4) Customer Fi NEO subs with (8) American Bass Elite 2800.1s Previous systems: 2000 Suburban - (4) BTL 15's and (4) IA 40.1's = 157.7 dB at 37 Hz. 1992 Astro Van - (6) BTL 15's and (6) IA 40.1's = 159.7 dB at 43 Hz.

It's a DC 3.5k so I'm gonna assume it will do rated and the mechanical is not an issue, it will be made to hold.

bkolfo4 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 From your response, maybe you don't understand that I am talking about exceeding the maximum excursion of the sub; going past the mechanical cone travel limit.

Oh, yeah I didn't get that. But I'm still not worried about it. The spider design I'm working with should hold very stiff while still allowing for a reasonable xmax. But if need be I could try to get a cone with a better surround if that's what you mean.
