Building these for a customer... I wasn't happy with the limits I was facing with the 10" 12-spoke frame so I grabbed some different frames to use for this project !

One picture for now until I get some stuff back from the machine shop... but what is to come :

Z v.3 Spider w/ Double Leads and Triple Joint Ring

Z v.3 Vented Spacer Ring (from 18" Z v.3)

Basket coil cut-out OD expansion at local machine shop

Custom made spider riser made at local machine shop

Wide-Roll Surround 10" Cone

Full Length NS v.2 Coil

The customer is planning to use quite a bit of power on these so I wanted to do something a bit special... anyone that knows me knows that I hate making 10s with 3" coils on the 12-spoke and 4-spoke frames!

spectacular!

those would be for me

i cant wait to get them playing either !!!

thanks for all the help and everything ...with more to come

Im pretty excited to see how these turn out!

they are going to be beasts !! lol

those frames appear to have a bit more clearance from the surround landing to the spider landing?

very nice.

ALOT more -- which is why I wanted to use them... to get more lateral coil stability.

With the heavy coil and very light moving assembly the mass balance is way off on the 10s so I have to make up for it with a bigger spider to surround distance.

The Nightshade motor looks good with that basket too. These are going to be some nasty 10s for sure.

ah I got you. I have never run into coil rock on the ten inch, but the heaviest coil I ever used on a ten inch is a 4 layer round wound with a 60mm winding width.

but when using the ten inch 12 spoke I find it hard to find a shallow enough cone that will allow use of an eight inch spider.

I'm sure that is not an issue for actual sub manufactures as yourself.

Your coil is pretty light compared to what I'm planning -- an 8-layer flat 71mm WW coil with double wall aluminum former.

That is the big difference

With the TC-9 you'll have most of the mass coming up closer to the spider as well -- compared to a 40mm top plate with less over-hang.

Is this the basis for the ns3 or experiment to see what you like or don't like

I got a first look @ the spider spacer... shop had to make some adjustments but should be able to get cracking on these again tomorrow or Wednesday.

Spider spacer is in :

* The top ledge was designed to hold a bead of epoxy around the spider to keep it secured under high power.

these are straight beast mode

* NS v.2 Coil + Triple Joint Ring

* Extra large terminals in place

* Epoxy on top

We'll test it out tomorrow to see if all goes well. I am expecting so but still have a few more ideas if it's still not quite up to what I want from it

HOLY SHIET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

let me know how it goes ...

but the project of "monster" or "big boy" is still?

or points to only NS v.3?

I am awaiting our new frames to produce the Monster... not sure on the time frame yet. It is too heavy for a standard frame.

and i thought my z v2 ten was a beast

is that coil a normal stock item for you?

and do you sell loose soft parts?

i may need too contact you later on if you do.

I love this thing

You can have a subwoofer capable of digesting an entire saz-3500d?
