[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8767662, member: 591582"] We're talking like rap bass. A lot of dudes that I know that have ran over RMS are all bass heavy rap listeners, a lot of them listen to stupid low end stuff. Heavy bass like in EDM or rap or any modified and slowed music. You gotta remember, what I call music is what the customer calls music. I tend to like a lot of music my customers listen to, in general. I do get a fair amount of people wanting to bang on metal, like fast kick drums and stuff. The box design can change power levels at different frequencies, so that's something I try to take into account, depending on the overall setup. I know this isn't quite music, but I've also seen dudes run stupid power doing the 1 minute demos for competition, I forget what that's called. I know that's not satisfactory to be compared to long term RMS, but I guess my point is the system can take more power in some situations and using the system a certain way. That's why people need to truly learn their system and what's going on, IMO. I'm definitely not a woofer builder and am always learning bc I'm self-taught. That coil gap thing you reminded me of about it being exponential had me thinking. I was talking to a certain audio company employee about the difference in gaps between woofers and how some companies pay the extra $$$ to develop their woofers with a much tighter gap (tighter tolerances all around with all machining iirc). Do you know how much difference in heat building a smaller gap has vs a bigger one? If you could do one of your explanations on that, that would be dope. I wonder if companies choose to have a slightly bigger coil gaps than pay more money to develop the woofer more. It seems the tighter coil gap would mean every other part of the woofer would have to be more precise to not get rubbing, get everything aligned more precisely, etc. [/QUOTE]
