[QUOTE="CertifiedHoodClassic, post: 8913470, member: 685714"] The biggest thing with the project right now is the subs. Getting big high-power handling subs again would bring it back to it's glory when the db4515rs were working lmfao. I want custom subs but the parts are difficult to find, especially the coils. I actually reached out to Precision Econowind (you've probably heard of them if you've seen "PE coil" on something), they let me know they can make what I want, which is a 4" coil with 4" wind height. Preferably 8 layer. Guy I know who builds speakers said I might even go for copper instead of aluminum, very heavy so not efficent but low fs because of the weight and really good thermal properties. That would take a ton of power. They have a MOQ of 25 pieces, I actually thought about going through with it and buying 25 coils just to use 2 but it's a lot money.... Lord of Bass has 600 oz ferrite motors available rn, the speaker builder told me they actually have more ferrite than the deaf bonces did. So they'd be better, more magnet similar overall weight. The frames, cones, spiders, etc. are easy to get compared to motors/coils. If you don't need/want the best thing ever, you can find them, but I want to build subs that can take a smart 8k each and sound good while doing it [/QUOTE]
