[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 6676075, member: 560148"] I'm not sure if the AE glue is the same, but is isn't a regular cheap air dry glue. It also needs to be baked before it finishes curing. John talks about it in a thread about how to properly break in a driver. "All of our coils are dipped and baked at 550F while curing. When cured they will withstand temps up to around 600F. Low power levels simply don't create enough heat to have any effect. No matter how slowly you bring the temperature up, it's failure point will be the same. Standard wound coils from china are not baked at all. The windings are wound into an adhesive and allowed to air dry. These adhesives will typically fail around 375F. You can break the driver in for 10 years at low power and the glue will still soften and begin to let go when you finally reach 375. " Anyway both DD and DC make very nice drivers. At that level of performance I'd go with whatever company you feel wil give you the best customer service or peace of mind. Personally If I did an SPL vehicle I'd probably use a DD driver or a Warden if I could get them for a good price. DD has alot of previous success and I think the motors on the warden is very special and it seems to be a well engineered driver. [/QUOTE]
