Posted March 26, 200916 yr "Specifically the coil. for those of you that dont know the alpine type x uses a coil that has windings on the inside AND the outside of the former. what would you think would be the pros and cons of such a setup? I will keep my thoughts to myself at the moment, cuz i may be WAYYY off base thoughts?" thats a copy an paste from chad aka visitor on roe an since there many more sub designers over here figured id post it cause i wanna what advantages a design like this would have? any opinions?
March 26, 200916 yr IMO : If the coil rubs a bit on the pole (which shouldn't happen), it is very easy to short out the windings. Could be a good idea because of extra "contact" surface between the coil and the air around it.
March 28, 200916 yr Author ya any "rocking" of the coil and it would be toast still interresting design! i just don't see how the "pros" of this design would outweigh the "cons"!
May 10, 200916 yr Same coil length and height same gap. No discernible advantage. As long as it is linear there is no difference.
May 10, 200916 yr The coil is actually a dual wall former - one coil / former inside the other.It is said to increase thermal power handling as the second former is like additional moving heat-sink for the coil.The patent can be seen here :http://www.google.com/patents?vid=USPAT6292079
