Actually pure silver would make the best VC, and i'm not kidding

No it wouldn't.

Does it make the sound waves 3D and shit?

Missed the funnies when you weren't around.

yes it would

High conductivity is just 1 element of a voice coil. With a melting point lower than ever copper, it wouldn't take much.

Depends on application

Well if ya guys want to get all technical, assuming money wouldnt be an issue.

A silicon treated titanium alloy transformer with a ruthenium tetroxide coating on an AR900 grade silver flatwound coil would be the most efficient, or at least the most effective I could think of.

Wanna buy my diamond coated Platinum coil? Sell it real cheap...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I want 10 of them! =P

Silvers melting point is 1763.2 °F //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Pshh you can't afford 10 of them!

I'll make you a deal though...

7 of them for Sundown Audio. Fair trade?

I know. Still wouldn't use them.

Actually its melting point is about 300 degrees hotter than aluminum, but only about 100 degrees lower than copper (Celsius). However as you said, silver has the highest electrical conductivity of all metals. But you did not take into account that Silver has a better thermal conductivity than both. Diamond actually has the best thermal conductivity, but since it has very poor conductivity it would not make a good VC.

terra,

If you throw in a caraudio.com shirt you got it *laughs*

ill buy....pm me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

But for real ill sell my 4" thick 12" long big black snake coils..... sometimes expands to a 18" coil //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

question... how do you make a diamond vc?

Jake you drive a hard bargain...what size shirt are we talking here?
