Posted August 16, 200916 yr I've been nursing this for a number of months now. It will be in the assembly stage within weeks.Pictured below is the voice coil of the next Mach 5 build - wound by yours truly. This will eliminate power compression so it will simply get louder with additional power applied. In the center (of the first pic) is a 3" coil to give you an idea of its size.
August 16, 200916 yr Author I'm sure it is nothing "new" to other companies, but since I will be winding them here, I figured why not?
August 16, 200916 yr Is that the advantage of bigger voice coils? Less power compression?That thing is huge. Someones gonna use it as a circle template to cut out speaker holes. Edited August 16, 200916 yr by takniteasy
August 16, 200916 yr Admin Mark's got you fooled, those are his new copper 22's for the bonnie. j/k But for the first time in the last three times I have read on an audio forumthat the claim of in-house wound coils, I believe it. Looks exciting .
August 16, 200916 yr Thats only the start guys. IMO marks high level of ingenuity is going to shine through on this project. Stay tuned.....I know I am.
August 17, 200916 yr It seems auto sound has made a full circle returning to its roots in pro-audio where 6" voice coils are the norm. Unless Mark has something sinister up his sleeves?... Watching...
August 17, 200916 yr All I wanna know is................ will it come in a 10'? Jokes...... Looking very interesting Mark can't wait to see what is being developed.
August 18, 200916 yr Author Yeah, this is my motivational plug. If I don't talk about it it won't happen. Since my Winnipeg friends have all but deserted me (*cough* Sean) I must open a dialog online to get me moving...Steel is ordered and the coil winder is in place to make up a formal former...
August 18, 200916 yr You should feel motivated over here more...The impatient "know-it-alls" over at CA askin you how much it can handle when all you have is wire would make me wanna not build it...lolI'll keep watchin this thread as it progresses.I've already seen 3 very nice products showed off this year-SSA XCONIA WardenSundown "Monster"Let's see what kind of enlightenment this teaser project gives us once it's put up to the test of reality.I like these builds.
August 19, 200916 yr Yeah, this is my motivational plug. If I don't talk about it it won't happen. Since my Winnipeg friends have all but deserted me (*cough* Sean) I must open a dialog online to get me moving...Steel is ordered and the coil winder is in place to make up a formal former...Hey..........Hey............Heeeeyyyyyy! I told you before.....I'll be there for assembly....and to help this time......
August 19, 200916 yr CCA - you wouldn't want that much copper hanging off your cone..I've hung heavier things on my "cone"wait, what are we talking about again?
August 19, 200916 yr Yeah, this is my motivational plug. If I don't talk about it it won't happen. Since my Winnipeg friends have all but deserted me (*cough* Sean) I must open a dialog online to get me moving...Steel is ordered and the coil winder is in place to make up a formal former...hey, I'm not from Winnipeg although I've spent plenty of time drinking there, at least before I turned 21.
August 21, 200916 yr Man... I finally get my hands on my first IXL and now I see this. I haven't even done anything with that 18 yet... it's sitting on a shelf waiting for me to get a box together. Ok wallet, start stuffing yourself again... I get the feeling I'm going to want whatever that big coil's attached to.Be glad I'm not in Winnipeg - I'd probably camp out outside the shop until you released the final product
August 24, 200916 yr Author Steel is in. I have to wind a couple of coils now. I'll be picking up the lathe tomorrow (finally). Next up is the forms for the basket.I gotta keep this moving...
