My next sub will deff be a single neo 10, I think.

only prob with neo is it gets weaker with heat, only drawback besides cost...

so for a loud daily driver set up. They might not be the best? because of the heat issue?

Myths about subwoofers

#15 Neodymium will lose its strength with heat

Of course it will, and so will ceramic motors too, but the fact is, under even extreme operating conditions, it's not likely the motor will ever reach these temperatures. There is just too much steel to absorb the heat from the voice coil in almost any practical case. In practice, gradual demagnetization due to use simply does not occur. We have been making high power neodymium based drivers for many years now and we have never once measured a discernible number from heat.

While Neodymium is nearly 10 times as strong as a similar sized ceramic magnets, it can cost up to 50 times too which is almost exclusively why it is not used often. Also, traditional overhung motors, which account for more than 95% of all car audio designs, can get everything they need out of a ceramic magnet assembly and stronger neodymium would be perhaps unnecessary. If we could use neo more, we would, but because it's a patented martial, it's just not economically practical for most designs. Furthermore, in order the magnetize neodymium, A magnetizer with over twice as much power and energy needs to be used. Many manufactures lack the capabilities of even magnetizing neodymium, so it becomes impractical to not only use it, but to manufacture.

Keep telling yourself that... if you never get your hands on one you won't feel so bad.

This box got pulled so I could have my back seats back. Really liked the way double layers on all sides worked out and also like big port area. Figure I can get by with a pair for now.... Sadly I haven't even had a chance to dial them in yet and my head gasket blew out. Hopefully one of those head fix kits can get me by a couple more months and allow me time to do some car shopping at a more liesurely pace.

Box pics anyway:
