Already seen one member trash his.

But maybe that was him.

Guess time will tell.

Normally a 4" coil, NEEDS a 10" spider. Either way. Meh, guess well see.

I'm hopin for the best. Hell the cost, even. Well see I suppose.

yea Peyton (the guy who trashed his) also already blew a pair of Zv4s and 9512s a day later and blew them in the same day. his amps got messed up somehow and messed up all his subs. lol. i think they were sending dc to the subs. or something. either way. that has been the only case of bad results i have heard. most people are gaining.

but i like how this thread went from those coils to 4 inch coils. guess we must run some power.

I can't hold one instance against them considering what that build went there is more than meets the eye there and I have to say I'm not really a fan of those amps to begin with

In fairness the aq coil is a copper coil, and they charge an additional $20 for the aluminum coil which is shown on the dd.

Actually I have a Pair of old HDC3s in my garrage right now with aluminum coils that needs a recone on one of them, and the guy brought the recone which has a copper coil..

Also, I remember my copper coils on my old DD 9500s being a very short windheight, and if my unlimited bandwidth on my pro photobucket account worked, I could show that.

To me, a spider, that is hardly double the size of the coil,.... The coil isnt the weak spot.

It will be the throw and or T-joint.

If the spider only being whatever in diameter, then it will only throw so far...... Your better off with a 3.5" coil imho if your spider wont allow work.

To me, your able to add power (to the coil) and get fucked on the work (throw).

Maybe im high.... meh....

Waits for bump 4 life to come back…..

Im still a newb on this subject but bump told me that my replacement to my xfl coil is another copper coil because the aluminum one might be too tall.

Then you can space the basket to get the a taller coil in there, and you can always cut down former length if its still to tall to fit under the dustcap.

dd95 coil on top

xfl coil (and soft parts) on bottom

I'm pretty sure you can see where corners are cut in the soft parts. Those little coils must have cried when i was tossing 4k to a pair.

Mine didn't lol, I still dunno how you popped that sub when I beat the piss out of mine that whole day

the coils shown are both copper.

the bigger one is a D2 DD 3500 copper coil.

the smaller one is an American Bass XFL coil D2.

DD has changed a ton up over the last few years multiple times and prolly will change more in the future.

idk how long it has been since you messed with DD, i know you arent the biggest fan of them but things change.

i dont have a picture of the DD aluminium because I have never blown them or broken teh triple joint with one since the new spiders.

the aluminium would have fit in your motor. you wanted lows and i like the sound of copper better for the lows. also you got copper to keeps costs down and because you didnt need it since the copper coil will take the power you have and more without issue.

you maybe arent getting as much power as you think then?
