Forevrbumpn Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) the LVS were awesome SQL subs Edited October 4, 2008 by Forevrbumpn Quote 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.

Gearstix Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 The whole idea of the LVS was- 1) Flash- eye catching 2) Prove that spaced apart spiders in a configuration like that will never rub, and keep the voice coil aligned perfectly possible 3) more moving mass weight for better low end reproduction great transient response I believe was a part of that concept to so it had spiders in each basket, and what was there a plate that bolts ontop the basket with a hole in the middle, so the vc can go through..? HMMMmmm. Imagine inverting it. You said you had all those parts... did you read the above Quote 2005 Blazer Build... Mach 5 SPL-12s, Audiopipe AP3000.1D..

Forevrbumpn Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) it was just 3 frames, with a spider on each frame from what I have seen Edited October 4, 2008 by Forevrbumpn Quote I have a ritual called "terminator".

Gearstix Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 LVS 18 is 10" spider frame, 12" spider frame, and 18" spider frame with a 10" aluminum adapter plate, and a 12" adapter plate, and a 4" hole in the middle of each plateThe biggest issue is the extremely long former that weighs a ton in the speaker world probably about triple the weight of a standard coil, the former was mil 8 I believe, very thick and rigid But you can do something like that anyways, its a Memphis design, and is patented There is 2 other companies that use that same design, but I cant tell you, or Id have to kill you Hmm. But this would be a custom built woofer.. I know if you take a fiero and put a ferrari kit on it, both are patented, what says you cannot do that? its not like I'm marketing it.

Forevrbumpn Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) I hear you...... there is ways around patents Edited October 4, 2008 by Forevrbumpn Quote I have a ritual called "terminator".

Gearstix Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 ~ I'm not looking to 100% replicate the LVS. just like the fact that there were multiple baskets. Its like the square woofer thing, I've seen alot of companies with square subs, which i thought was kickers design, but now mtx and credence and stuff have square subs. I could use mach 5's baskets though, right? a 10,12,and 18 basket is around 60 bux. not bad. Just for the former/voice coil. I thought I read that the LVS's was extended with PVC?

Forevrbumpn Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 got a link to those man?? the baskets And hells no, no PVC just alum former PVC would be over weighting the moving mass to where the glue beads would be ripping apart Quote I have a ritual called "terminator".

Forevrbumpn Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 I know a great voice coil company I can contact but again, about $100-150 set up fee, then the cost of the coil Unless, like what I have done before, use a standard height coil that will just catch a glue bead with the spider landing, and use a round piece of 1/4" MDF/hardboard, cut it to about the size of the VC ID, epoxy it in place, and use a hollow alum rod to go to the top cone, with another MDF ring epoxied to that Straight frankenstien sub there Quote I have a ritual called "terminator".

Would it last though? I guess if you glue it up right it shouldn't budge. I was thinking you could glue in another piece of whatever there made of and make a joint. Quote 2005 Blazer Build...
