Pitbullx Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 flatwire coil helps the power handling of the sub. The coil has more surface area to dissipate heat and will take more power then the regular round wire coil Team Devastation Mixed Martial ArtsMachado Brazilian JiujitsuOnce I lock it on there's no escape I don't train to make you tap, I train to tear your arm, leg, or head off.

Forevrbumpn Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 FW* The flatwire coil option simply helps the power handling of the sub. The coil has more surface area to dissipate heat and will take more power then the regular round wire coil that comes in the ‘stock’ version of the sub. This option will also make the sub tend to be more prone to ‘peaking’ for a budget daily driving sub where you don’t have to use a ton of power to get maximum output and sacrifice sound quality a little bit. Exactly what I was gonna say, damnit its all about surface area of the wire to dissapait heat gonna run thousands of watts, do flat hundreds of watts, do round round alum wire is lighter copper clad is light, and durable copper is the strongest, yet heaviest wire to use If I had my own speaker company I would use titanium in my high line subs flat light, and shit loads of thermal power I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.
