EclipseChris Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) From what i have learned from Ed Lester, Alum naturally heats up quickly and cools down quickly. These are best for burps. Copper takes a long time to hear up and a long time to cool. Best for daily. Could be the other way around, i forget now.

EclipseChris Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 so would that mean that if you used a alui coil sub daily you could fry it faster than copper coil sub? Could fry it faster, but if your giving it rated or less than rated it only means it will heat up faster. Heat doesn't always mean fry and in some cases a warm sub could play better than a cool one.
