[QUOTE="ghostmechanic, post: 5672581, member: 607257"] It's not really that special. I'd rather not explain it in too much detail but it seemed extremely special at the time. And it cost a small mint to get a patent. I was also trying to get another patent for a different design later on but the cost had significantly increased so that idea still just floats in my head:p: Basically it keeps the voice coil in the strongest part of the magnetic field at all times so the cone can be controlled more. I was also working on several other projects when I was into that sort of thing. One of them was a transducer with a full 360° dispersion pattern. That was never finished. I'm not an engineer or claim to be any kind of prodigy or anything. I just started destroying & then experimenting with rebuilding drivers when I was about 12 years old. I got pretty good at it after a few years & I had looked into starting a reconing company (getting distributers for parts & such) in my early 20s. Somehow I just gave up on it.
