Reread and actual comprehend

Op is talking about the voice coil itself and not the cone/basket.

It is worded odd.

 

To have a A Square Voice Coil, the former, the bottom of the cone, the coil wrap and motor would all have to be square.. 

 

Even then, i would think the corners of the coil would have non symmetrical characteristics with the rest of the coil. 

 

You may think it would lend to more coil in a given space but to be able to use it properly is in question.

 

If that is the only benefit, more coil, then it wouldn't be practical as current formers are just fine.

i seen the word sub in the phrase and threw me off.  sub implied fully assembled speaker and i'm thinking cone at that point.

 

square voice coil sub could mean single voice coil with square cone.

or what it really means as you see it, square voice coil.

I've never seen a square VC on anything anything over the years.  There have been only a few companies that have done unusually shaped VC's over the years but the shape didn't change much from round, hexagon.  Past that and all the years I've been playing with audio I'm not aware of anyone who's built anything with an odder shape than that.

A round coil seems like the most easy and cheap solution, so I don't really see anyone going this route.

I don't see anything good by using a square voice coil. Round is the best way to go!

I can agree with this,say a 2' round coil wouldn't have as much area as the 2' square coil.but I dunno lol.

 

 

This was a random thought I woke up with yesterday figured some of the tech guys would have a little input on it

Subwoofers with flat wire are already being produced, he is asking about square coils.
