[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 7599413, member: 549629"] Just some rough thoughts based on the pictures posted here. At some point we have to realize bigger isn't always better. Once a coil is fully saturated, making the motor bigger (the slugs, or the number of slugs) provides little or no help in generating BL force. Again from those pics, I have to assume the coil is a 2" (maybe 2.5"), and my over-saturation-meter starts kicking in. Or, they are going with a larger 3" coil, and then we have to worry how well such an undersized spider will hold up to use/abuse. I would also be concerned about how well the spider would hold up if its suggested the third slug in the motor is meant simply to allow for more rearward vc clearance (a common reason extra slugs are added, contrary to popular belief). Im not saying I have this sub all figured out just from a couple pics. But again the pics do raise a few red flags in my mind. [/QUOTE]
