looks like a top and bottom plate with some small neo slugs in there.

 

[boister77 10+ year member]

so the motor design of the parthenon is not a unique design, but based on a concept using neo slugs rather than the traditional motor design?

i have no clue on the parthenons design, but if you look at Focal's subwoofers, their motors are similar to the one in the picture above.

I believe focal uses ceramic/ferrite though, not neo.

Same way the Phass Alinco mids are:

DD had a sub out a few years ago with the same design as the Focals (looks wise, don't know for sure what magnets they used).

That picture makes the motor look small...

I think that its actually pretty large, judging by the height of the gap anyway. It would have to be pretty big in order for it to have any kind of throw.

Which means that it has a huge diameter coil...

Interesting though, Id like to know more about it.

This kind of looks like a TC Sounds build to me.

The cone reminds me of the DD 9900 series.
