SC noe magnets

Any heard if FI or ssa are thinking about adding a supercharged options for their subs like dd has? Would be a good addition to the evil and BTL's IMO

What's wrong with more power from the same size driver?

What does the "supercharge" option do that it makes "more power from the same size driver?"

It doesn't make more power.  SC adds a neo magnet to the top of the pole (along with an aluminum shorting ring).  So BL increases, Q goes down and due to a change in the response there is slightly more peak SPL around the tuning peak....not enough to really be audible, but it shows up on a meter and for SPL guys that's all they care about.  For daily applications everything is a trade-off, so the increase in peak SPL is more than likely going to be accompanied with a decrease in low frequency extension and a less-smooth frequency response. 

 

SC isn't needed drivers designed for a specific purpose and goal for performance, and where those objectives were met with the respective design.  I'm going to gander a guess SSA feels their drivers meet those objectives.

Hey, who asked you?
