[QUOTE="02parkave, post: 3328567, member: 551920"] Alright.. for anyone who builds/designs woofers (or knows about it) have a few questions to ask... (i have already spoke with one of them, and got great advise.. but more is always helpful!) using no special woofer motor/coil technology (split coil, xbl, lmt, etc.) what would you look into for building an efficient sq woofer. as far as coils, cone, spiders, etc? Coils.. I am assuming copper coil, non flat wound? but as far as formers.. what would you recommend? assuming that you have any at your disposal (ti, alum, black alum, kapton, etc) spiders.. I am assuming with sq, large diameter spiders are not needed (as huge excursion is not needed)? (i.e. 10" and such) 8" poly cotton? cones/surround... What would be the choice here? for cones.. i have access to ti, alum, nomex (as the tc oem10) paper, glass fiber, kevlar, and some composite cones surrounds- rubber or foam? any thoughts are appreciated.. for reference.. tc9 motors, with 600 watts to each..
