It's been a while since I read that white paper, it's a good explanation of the concept. Better heat dissipation, better control, symmetrical flux, and more design options for electrical and mechanical parameters are the main advantages. Yes, JBL pioneered the technology in the 80's and we owe a lot of speaker technology to JBL and Harmon. If you want to know how it works, look at their research.

Don't worry about what people told you, just read the paper above and it tells all.

The paper also addresses the advantages of using neo magnets, something ignored by the copycats.

The "breaking coil" is why those JBL subs are very difficult to "bottom out".

Isn't it basically XBL^2 with more coil surface area?

Thanks! I like neo for many reasons

I think those used to be owned by 72impala

Instead of *supergauss* it should be *symmetricgauss*

So when this type of sub has a single coil, is the coil between the motors?

That part doesn't make sense to me

 

[keep_hope_alive Premium Member]

if it has a single coil, it's not this type of woofer. stacked magnets may make the speaker become underhung - which is not the same as above.

The new Rockford Fosgate 19" woofer is like this with 5 inch coils.

Apparently, the new SMD's have a single coil, not spaced. I find that hard to believe

Also, do those custom ones on facebook not have a pole piece?

The cut-down SMD v.1 that I saw had one coil & a single braking winding up higher on the former.
