99s10dowork Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Does size matter? whats would be the difference in 2", 2.5", and 3" voice coils when it all boils down to it? Is there a huge difference?

cqtama Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 size always matters the more copper you have the better it can disapate heat. so a bigger coil can generaly handle more power Quote R.I.P '01 blazer you treated my ears well until your transmission blew up.

Forevrbumpn Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 well, copper doesn't dissipate heat like aluminum does. The more surface area a coil has, the more power it will generally handle wire gauge thickness on the coil also has an effect on power handling, but more wire, more weight= more power needed to get louder but copper is like 3 times heavier than aluminum, so that should say something there 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.

99s10dowork Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 True didnt think about that. aluminum is much lighter! alot to take into consideration.

Forevrbumpn Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 There is a lot of electrical parameters a copper coil can give you, and aluminum coil cant per foot, copper has like 1/2 or less of the electrical resistance that aluminum has, and that changes everything Quote I have a ritual called "terminator".
