    The coil and soft parts you sent me with the 6 gonzo jr motors worked out great for my 15s. Fs 26, vas 2.4ft³. Had them going in a 6th order but figured out that they would play better in a 4th so changed the box and damn. Made a huge difference. These subs are getting down. Have 6 of them on 3 4500 watt amps in a b pillar 4th order wall. I just need bigger amps bc they can definitely handle more. Also 192ah of headway for power. Thanks for helping with this awesome equipment man.

    I ended up watching quite a few of this style video and I'm really taking in a lot of information, but something I struggle to find online is how do you determine the ideal box size and tuning frequency? WinISD and figure out what graph works the best? Trial and error to find what sounds best?

    • @RobotUnderground

    If I can’t find a coil the same wind height, what effects will using a coil with a longer/shorter wind height have?

    • @RobotUnderground
      @RobotUnderground  Год назад +2

      It depends on how much longer or shorter the coil is. Share the situation here so we can check it out

  • @geoffculp2019
    @geoffculp2019 Год назад

    How come there's not aluminum around the outside of the coil so it can't turn to spegetti mess getting hot before the magnet wire glue is set and help it cool. Heard of a gauss meter to test magnet strength. Seems like fiberglass cloth works with gorilla glue instead of the rezon for cone making. Think the imax low frequency drivers enclosure are tuned 24 htz seen something about the resonant frequency of space sound is played in.

  • @RomaVilla
    @RomaVilla 11 месяцев назад

    So would you say aluminum coils have more cons than pros and do you prefer copper coils over aluminum ones? Just recently purchased an ampere audio Rev 3.0 V4 15 inch to run in a 3.5 cubed ported box on a bc6k at 1 ohm. I wanted to try these subs out because there’s not a lot of info and videos on these subs so I was very curious about them.

    • @RobotUnderground
      @RobotUnderground  11 месяцев назад +1

      No it just is sometimes difficult to find really soft spiders with leads for aluminum coils. When you're designing a woofer though and you can have any parts you want you do all that research ahead of time so it works out for you if you're an OEM. If you're someone like me you have to deal with what's available in the market and that's not a lot considering that this industry is not aftermarket friendly. People think I don't like Lord of bass but George has given me a huge index to access that I could not afford on my own
