Flatwind Option on the BL?

[djvi0lent 10+ year member]

I have the same thread posted on RoE. I figure I'll get a faster response here.

While reading 'BL Enclosure Recommendations' I stumbled upon the word 'peaking'. Full paragraph below. Please someone, elaborate on this term..

Flatwind: The flatwire coil option simply helps the power handling of the sub. The coil has more surface area to dissipate heat and will take more power then the regular round wire coil that comes in the ‘stock’ version of the sub. This option will also make the sub tend to be more prone to ‘peaking’. If you are looking to do an SPL install we highly recommend that you use choose the flatwound coil option. In testing it is louder then the regular roundwire coil and takes the thermal abuse much better.

I have an idea of what it is, but I'd like to be sure.

Thanks,

Marcus

Peaks at a narrow frequency band. Not very musical

Indeed... While I've got some attention, might as well ask. I plan on feeding 2 BL's with 2500D's while being easy on the gain... should I worry about this option? This is for a daily driver, obviously.

I know the 2500D's are overkill for the BL's, but I want to leave room for improvement //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

Yeah, just be cautious. Some headroom is okay... leaves room for upgrade! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
