Crump Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 What is a flatwind coil? Copper Coil, and BP Power? what do they do and are they worth getting?

audiofanaticz Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) As you ask the same question for the second time.... Your other post was responded too and then locked.. Maybe its too hard for you to click the link for your answers? Lol Since im in a good mode, ill type them out for ya Flatwound coil (+$20) – 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. In other words, a flatwound coil uses a rectanguler/square wire wraped around the coils former. A regular voice coil uses round wire. Flatwound is better! Copper coil (+$5) – The copper coil is a heavier coil and adds mass to the moving assembly. In comparison to the stock coil, or the flatwound coil, this has the smoothest transitions musically speaking. It is less likely to peak, and is a better overall sub for more Sound Quality based daily drivers. NOTE!! You CAN NOT use both flatwound and copper coil, its either one or the other, you will benifet more from a flatwound coil if your giving the subs more then their rms rating. BP Power (+40) helps flow all of the air under the dustcap around the voice coil for better cooling, comes with an extra spider too. Which will allow the sub to handle more power. Flatwound coil option and BP Power is the best you can get for the sub for higher power applications. If its more of a SQ system you are going for, id say go for the Copper coil, and the BP power option.
