ambyrell1 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 if copper is a better conductor, why are aluminum coiled subs louder? I also read that copper is a better thermal conductor, so wouldn't copper be the better option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also read that copper is a better thermal conductor, so wouldn't copper be the better option? The coils dont really make a sub louder, the reason people go with aluminum coils is that aluminum disipates heat better there for giving the sub a higher power handling, if you had Sub A with Copper coils, and Sub B with Aluminum coils both off of 2K you wouldnt notice a difference while Sub A is reaching its thermal limits Sub B still has alot of headway before it reaches its thermal limits.

CaptainzPlanetz Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 so would 2000watts blow the copper coil Depends on what sub your talking about, as brewer stated I was sorta using the AQ subs as an example when I was explaining it, 2000rms on a copper coil HDC3 wont be a problem now once we get past 3000rms it probably wont like it unless you know what you are doing. Now 3K on a Aluminum coil HDC3 wouldnt be a problem at all. Quote ¿ǝɯɐƃ ǝɥʇ Trolls never learn............

ambyrell1 Posted September 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 yeah AQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainzPlanetz Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 yeah AQ Personally for me, if I was gonna get a AQ sub if I was gonna run 1-2K I would go with the copper coils, if I was gonna run 2.5K up I would go with the Aluminum coils.
