[QUOTE="ahole-ic, post: 6845006, member: 619324"] Since we've already had one guy make an *** of himself, let me make one of myself. Jacob you're talking about playing with former materials. I have often wondered why a thermally conductive acrylic/ceramic couldn't be used. They are used all the time in Heatsink Epoxy. They harden to be rigid, light, and dissipate heat much better than regular old plastic. They are also electrical insulators. For this reason I wonder why formers couldn't be made of this, the shellac or glue sanded off of the inside and outside of the voice coil. This provides an unimpeded contact joint with the VC and former and then the former would act as a sort of heat spreader. Then it could attach to the dustcap. the dustcap could be some lightweight heatsink. (I think this is a good idea because since you have all of this increased thermal ability, you could adjust the FS by different dustcap heatsink weighting) If you really wanted to get fancy, you could incorporate heat pipes as seen in CPU coolers. They are ducts that contain a liquid that vaporizes at very low temperatures. It goes up and is cooled by the heatsink and returns in liquid form again to cool the component. I realize this would be ridiculously expensive, BUT with people such as yourself persuing NEO motors, people purchasing carbon fiber cones and caps, I think SOME of this could be justified.... at least for a small portion of the market.
