just a thought, but wouldn't it be better if the voice coils wire where bigger, instead of them being so small?

well yes if u want to be technical, like a 6 or 8.

That looks like 18 or something.

I know this was asked a while ago, but I thought I would add the answer.

Remember that BL is B times L. B is the magnetic flux seen by the coil, and L is the length of wire effected by the magnetic flux. If you make the wire larger, you change quite a few properties of the subwoofer. For one thing, it becomes more difficult to stack the same length of wire in the gap. You also effect the moving mass, DC resistance, inductance, and as mentioned earlier BL which will effect other parameters from there. And the question comes up of why? Thermal handling isn't a major issue with the smaller awg wire typically used currently. So if it aint broke, why go through all the trouble of trying to fix it? ;)
