why dont anybody make subs that use electromagnets? ones were you can adjust magnet strength i found one on the net that weighs 2 pounds and can lift 200 pounds and was only $66 dollars and run off 4-c batteries im not a sub builder just wondering why not?

power needed for EMs isnt bad, I saw one that could lift 500lbs powered by 4 aa batteries. transformers work wonders. maybe cost is the determining factor in not maing them. not to mention the added wiring to hook them up, alot of people are confused by hooking up normal speakers...lol

1st place in AS3 @ Surf City Sound Off, 140.8 @ 45hz @ the headrest.

rebuild coming soon to get a better score :)

buy me an electromagnet and i'll make one.

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through.

Its been done. There are issues with doing it.

I am still working out ways to combat those issues.

Ever since I seen this thread earlier I have been thinking about this ever since.

I do appliance repair, and I deal with solenoids, like gas, and water valves, these are electromagnets, and have a lot of pull, but again, they run on 120 - 240v, also are AC current, not DC, DC will get to hot, and maybe even act as a heating element

So what I have thought about was 6 electro magnet towers, ran in series, but power in to the coils seems like it may be a problem.

To have these in series, you would need pretty thick magnet wire, and then cost goes back up again, back to about the same price of ferrite, more than likely double

6 electro magnets with 16 gauge wire with about 20 layers+ deep each EM, will need some good juice to get this working, and costly on the wire side

Only way to go around this, I was thinking hybrid, ferrite or Neo PLUS electro magnets

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.

I know that if there were a sub with an EM motor with big beefy coils on it I'd probably buy one just to mount it inverted :)

i think if we could control magnet strength it would be a help in spl as well as sound quality and imagine if we had a add-on such a device that we could program to only increase or decrease magnet strength at a certain frequency range.
