Keep in mind DD is always testing new things as well.....they like to stay at the fore front....Its good to see other companys step up and give dd some competition.....I would really like to see how this woofer turns out.Should be interesting.

i just want a neo motor like dat.

Similar to the old Shocker Neo motor

The DDZ has a giant 8-layer flat coil -- high inductance. I think that is the #1 problem it has with impedance rise.
This sub won't have that problem -- testing will see if it pays off!

Would there be a benefit, inductance wise, to using a thinner(~4 layer) 5" or 6" VC as opposed to such a thick 8 layer 4" VC? Obviously it depends on other factors, but generally speaking would there be a benefit?

Also, would this seem to be the reason why other companies, such as Morel, use big VC's on their mids?

Less layers generally means less inductance at a given coil size.

Although, you must remember that most of the 8-layer coils in use are not "real" 8-layer coils. They have quad windings and each coil is actually a set of coils wired down in parallel so they are "effectively" 4-layer coils.

motor looks similar to my wardens.

If by similar you mean it has several round neo magnets then yes.

The Warden uses different thickness back and top plates, different coil size, less and larger magnets, and columns under the neo discs on a flat back plate. It's quite a bit different in every way except that they use several round neo magnets //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif I guess they are also the same in that they are both awesome too *laughs*

i likez neo.....

Id say the wardens have 3/4 less machining to do plus the wardens neo rings seem like thier a standerd order size could be why its so cheap...

How about a field coil while we're at it? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I wouldn't call it cheap - but IA did a very good job making an affordable neo driver with the Warden.

Would be interesting...scary as hell to be around, but interesting //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I wouldn't call it cheap but a decent price for a neo based driver. I'd like to see some tests on it.
