[QUOTE="jimrhit, post: 2640219, member: 573319"] The steel parts of the motor do act as heatsink, however, the are 4 times less thermally conductive as Aluminum....hence the use of Aluminum fins and such for cooling purposes. Al can simultaneously act as a shorting ring in a motor (it needs to be quite large in subwoofers .. ~3x larger than a copper one) ... so you can double dip on this ... you get better power handling as well as lower distortion [/QUOTE]
