[QUOTE="Electrodynamic, post: 7371636, member: 548723"] Exactly. Not only is the Skar motor smaller OD than the SA, but the Obsidian has a larger OD than both the SA and the Skar. Differences between the Obsidian and the Skar include: Larger Magnet OD, different magnet ID, taller top plate, wider top plate, completely different t-yoke, different gap dimensions, different cone, different surround, different voice coil windings (height and width), different voice coil former, etc. So no, our Obsidian woofers are not a Skar with a different cone. The Obsidians have a higher BL^2/Re, utilize a lower inductance voice coil, use the same size enclosures, play just as deep, and possess the capability to be louder due to less moving mass than the Skar woofers. And the Obsidian's are $30 less expensive. [/QUOTE]
