im not entirely sure on how it works or how it adjusts...i just remember hearing that the older strokers have an adjustable suspension. sounds like this would be how it adjusts. ask around and im sure you'll figure it out and then feel free to mess with it

From CV (the new stroker Pro uses a similar bias adjustment system):

Stroker PRO Coil Bias Feature
Right out of the box, the Stroker Pro is set with the voice coil in the center of the magnetic gap, giving you a high power highexcursion woofer with the lowest possible distortion and maximum fidelity. By using the tool included with the woofer you can push, or bias, the coil’s rest position forward in the gap.

This creates asymmetrical system non linearities. These non linearities create uneven magnetic force and compliance on the forward and backward stroke of the speaker. This allows the speaker to create higher amounts of even ordered distortion (2nd, 4th, etc.) which contributes to the overall output giving the dB competition users an added edge.

The even ordered distortion also enhances the psychoacoustic phenomena known as, “The Missing Fundamental” that enhances the perception of deep bass level.

The idea was to tighten the suspension and raise FS for SPL burps......

I would set it so it's level with the rest of the spider and leave it there......

From CV (the new stroker Pro uses a similar bias adjustment system):

that system is a bit different.... and is even more retarded then the origional...

why would you want harmonics when you are burping at a specific fundamental ?

I wouldn't mess with it if it's set right from the factory. One of the reps told me how to gain a bit from adjusting them different but for daily driving I'd leave it.
