didn't mean to sound like a jerk but Ive tested so many designs I don't use the modeling programs simply because they are small signal parameters and do little to describe how the coils changes with x amount of current/heat and fluctuations of the flux lines in the gap when they approach those high temps(most coils are rated for 410f before breakdown occurs)..
the glue is the single
most important thing in therminal capacity..
when the coil heats up electrical dampening is altered..
as the coils current carring cap is exceeded this affects these parameters as well..
impedance rises which ultimay causes the output losses but you have to remember that electrical dampening is the amount of electromagnetic flux..as inductance/cap is raised dampening is altered as well..
ie a great sounding woofer starts in the coils and more importantly glue..
the better the heat dissipation the more linear the parameters..
don't let the linear bl curves fool you when they sacrifice excellent cooling and proper therminal conductivity for a given application..
btw the tc/ap subs sound great but most people can't really tell the difference without a good deal of listening..
if ya want the best of all worlds I like the fi q with the low q option if you want a slightly peakier lowend and sounthing like the skar with the higher q will be a good deal flatter but your close to its therminal limits.
just go ahead and grab a AA mayhem 18
