[QUOTE="djdilliodon!, post: 8861986, member: 684299"] With 5 layers on the spider and I’m sure the surround is thick and on the stiff side, the trade off will be the low end output and efficiency. It takes a lot of juice to move that and a 4” coil. If you are smelling the coil, give it a week mid tilt of play. If after that you still smelling the coils, feel the dust caps to see if they are warm. For an all out spl build, multiple layers on the spider can be ideal as you can use larger enclosures with more control, peak at a higher frequency which is easier to get better numbers etc. it all comes at a cost though, low end will suffer, and imo sq suffers too in my experience at times. For most, 2 layers is what I mostly like to use, if power is under 1500w, I’ve been comfortable with a single layer. [/QUOTE]
