STEvil Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 can you upgrade any sub to them or do specific companies make them or what? Yes, if you have one custom built. Not worth it though.

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. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.

JaM Customs aka mprete Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 so really the only advantage would be a smaller mounting depth and more power in the same size? 2001 dodge ram 2500 quad cab 5.9L V8 my build logs... dodge build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/94914-mpretes-2001-dodge-ram-2500-quad-cab-build-log/ trik build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/94447-trik-build/page__p__1298547__hl__trik__fromsearch__1entry1298547 box building thread- very cool designs (PICS!!!) http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/95713-2d-or-3d-box-pics/page__gopid__1318152entry1318152 i am a mechanic, pm me if you have questions or anything.

Forevrbumpn Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 450deg? Neo loses power at 160+F depending on the neo grade. The higher the neo grade, the lower the heat needed to dissipate the magnetism Iam sure N42 is around 200-220, while N52 is closer to the lower number 160ish degrees Ferrite loses magnetism at around 400degrees- 500 they are down to nothing We used to BBQ old shifted motors while charged, to loosen the glue, and separate them by a mallet and hands when they cool down 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.

So NEO is great IF you keep it VERY cool. Suburban Coming Soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnockinthaStreetzof608 Posted December 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 ok one thing that a kinda dont want to happen do you think the surrond of the woofer wont be able to handle the power??? also what is the price different on a neo vs a non-neo woofer? and how cool is cool? to keep this wooofers goin at there top efficiency? also doesnt dc make neo woofers?? as well CAR -2005 Ford Mustang (Legand Lime) H/U -Pioneer avh 3200dvd Amps 2 AQ 3500d.1s strapped 1ohm daily .25burps 1Sundown Audio 100.4 1 Sundown Audio 125.2 Subs 4 AQ HDC'4s 12's Mids and highs 4 Sundown Neo Pro 8s 2 AQ Super Tweeters Electronical Mechman 270 unit 1 D3400 2 D3100's WALLED!

HHR Ed Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 NEO motors have been around for many years. It's only just recently that they have been gaining more popularity in our realm of the industry. Advancements in Motor geometry as well as cooling features have made NEO motors more viable and flexible as far as use in various woofer types. More and more companies are using NEO in certain woofer models, cost is a bit higher than Ferrite motors, but reduced weight is one major benefit. Other benefits are slowly emerging Ed Lester ShowtimeSPL Host Showtime Electronics Video MarketingMy old Build Loghttp://www.stevemead...08/#entry511451http://www.youtube.com/showtimespl 5 time dB Drag Finalist Last ride 2007 HHR, current dB 153.5 and bass race 149.4 dB. 153.0 dB on music New Ride, 2008 HHR SS.

TorK102 Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 DC does have them, but not for sale until next year. You want to keep them no hotter than about 150 degrees to be safe. Once you heat them up too much they lose their magnetic force. So that means no clipping your signal! My bass is louder than your mom...

kirill007 Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 i would not be afraid of buying neo , you do know its 160 degrees celsius instead of fahrenheit right? And to get the motor that hot would be really hard, if you beat on it for hours with overpowering the sub, then yes probably it will get fked up, but the coil will go first. And with fi's design i think its )(almost) impossible to make it hot enough that it loses its power permanently (but i thought quite a lot of things were not possible to happen with subwoofersm but some people.... Can do impossible stuff to a sub...) Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zZZzzzSnooze Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Did DC Audio release a NEO motors Subwoofer? Is there a NEO motors Subwoofer you can buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
