MT 12 - top plate and coil

[jimmyslide 10+ year member]

Top plate measurement??

Coil diameter?

It's for a customer who needs a recone and is turning towards ATOMIC to get that accomplished so I need the measurements. I think it's a 4 inch coil but I have no idea about the top plate. HELP!!!

OK, 99% postive that the VC on an MT is 3" since folks do the whole dd/mt combo and all the dd motors are 3"

"Features a huge 4 inch flat wound coil. The motor is a little bigger than the MT but with a pole vent for a great daily woofer. This is a limited edition subwoofer and there isn't very many in existence." that is about the destroyer.

Ah....so an APX recone it is then. Thought it might have to be the APXX...but good.

Top Plate info now please....

A customer just dropped one off to have us re-cone it, is it the same person?

Gap plate height is 1"

Magnets are 8 3/4" wide

the vc diameter is ~3" (I have not take it apart yet, but its a 3" coil) if its edge wound flat wound. Round or square, I will know after I cut out the cone. We’re going to put our new coil in there anyway.

I don't know the coil winding width (height)

What is really interesting is that there is no venting, this was an obvious attempt to gain some Bl... not sure if I agree with that design.

The spiders are just 8" wide with exposed leads. Rather small for the excursion allowed by the three 1" tall slugs. I think the excursion is certainly limited by the spiders.

The surround is 1.5" foam.

I'm going to recone it with our high excursion 18" frame that allows for 10" spider and over 2" clearance below the spiders. (same frame on the eclipse Ti pro) I'll put a light cone on with a thinner tall rubber surround or our PA cloth surround with is awesome for SPL.

This is going to be a *****ing TC Sounds MT when its done //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Wound'nt know.. this is the first MT i have ever seen. It will be a fun little project.

kyle, i wanna follow you to work like a puppy dog follows a kid home haha

 

[jimmyslide 10+ year member]

It is a drop in...but if you want it done right, you have to have all the right gaps. Coil can only go down soooo far into the motor...

Awesome Idea Kyle...I am not going to go that far. Just going to put on a 15 inch basket and go basic triple stiff spider and APX soft parts. Only a SPL sub...so it just has to take a tonne of abuse. I like the 2" clearance below the spiders though. That **** sub needs ventilation. But the MT was made for one purpose...and it does it **** well too.

We'll see how she like the soft part!

well no i meant i thoguht that the measurements on the apx and the mt were the same //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

guess wiht the top plate measurements and such now however you will know for sure. The apx looks awfull close to the same height top plate though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

No other recones out there besides ATOMIC TCSounds pshhhhhhhhh...whatever! LOL...kidding Kyle.

My teammate used to run 2 15's in a wall and they are the best sounding sub I have ever heard. Absolutely amazing! Wouldn't hesitate to run them at all...

[jimmyslide 10+ year member]

See..now comments like that on http://www.canadiancaraudio.com would get you a warning and possibly kicked off. Stupid mods...sorry...anger towards them.

One of my customers complimented dealing with me and got the thread ripped, and got a warning. And I got a warning because someone said I dealt with recones.

Losers!!!
