[QUOTE="Eviljacket, post: 8765897, member: 684057"] Ya no I’m pretty sure I listed all my measurements, unless that was a diff thread, and I get Alpine’s reasoning and after disassembly of their Type-X I can see why most don’t attempt it, even tho it wasn’t too bad just took some patience is all. And I see ppl selling specific Type-R recoil Kits all the time, I think it’s more material as to why there’s no recoil kits. Technically the coil is a 1kw rms dual3.5ohm 6layer round copper clad alum inset (inner and outer) wound coil, which NO one produces, might have gone over that too, too early to remember and/or go reread it lol. Main reason for thread was to maybe get info on this exact subwoofer and what the diff reasons are for what materials are used in voice coils to help with deciding on what coil to use, of course a CCA inset would be best, but NO one makes them, hence all the “technical” questions, which I can’t seem to find info on or get answered lol. So I just made the decision to go with a 1.5kw dual2ohm 8layer flat alum traditional wound voice coil with the other correct specific specs of course (wind width,etc) I realize it’s a trial and error, hence the thread, I know how to go about it, but trying to learn why I would want to go in either direction for each option, flat vs round wire, copper vs alum, 4 layer vs 8 layer, etc and if possible maybe upgrade where I can, which with what I have found for info decided to go over spec vs under spec, ie: 8 layer vs 4 layer (which I still haven’t found the reason why this or that layer/material/etc do this or that/etc and which is better, so I just defaulted to the “more is usually better” tactic lol) Def not easy finding the technical info/reasoning on some stuff but if anyone actually knows please chime in, many more besides me would really dig the info as well. I’ll be making a write up with picks on this rebuild (since there is virtually none on the net) and ill be getting a Dayton Audio DATS V3 so I can get the new T/S parameters as well, going super nerd on this recoil lol! 😅🥴🤓 [/QUOTE]
