[QUOTE="tekk45, post: 6915289, member: 585674"] I am sorry you sold your skills for so little. You should start getting more for your efforts man. I can get 18's for less too but not this level sub. I also get my coils directly from the manufacturer(not Atomic). I have blueprints for these motors and 880 motors, so I know what coils will and will not fit. While I dont rule out you stuffing an 8 layer coil into a 818 motor, I do find it questionable unless it was some REAL thin round wound copper. The 818 motor has one of the smallest gaps in the industry. Also, I have found that Atomic has issues with consistency in parts and orders and build quality, ect. I ordered 2 pairs of tens in 06', they sent me one pair of 818's and one pair of 856's with 818 coils, 2 different types and quantity of spiders and clearly 2 different cones..I mean wtf. When I cut them even the coils were different. One former had anodized aluminum and the other titanium. There is .5-.8 in score difference in just the 2 formers not to mention the difference between copper and flat wound aluminum. I will build these with the highest quality parts and control so all the subs perform exactly the same with durability and no issues. [/QUOTE]
