you need to apologize to WMD for the lies. even i saw you stick the probe to the coil. you have to be pretty stupid to trash a companies product then YOU post a vid that shows what really caused the sub to blow. how much were you paid by some other company to do that??

You can't definitively tell that he touched the coil with the probe, which btw is called a thermocouple and is not very strong or sharp, probably neither strong enough or sharp enough to take the varnish off of a VC.

The coating on magnet wire is not very thick. It doesn't take much to strip it when its hot.

It should be thick enough that a thermocouple tip wouldn't rub it off, the end of a thermocouple is a rounded metal "bubble" basically like a drip of solder, quite smooth.

Nope. Even rounded metal will rub off a coating, especially if it is passing the same point 60-80+ times per second. That is one of the reasons why you see an outer coat of epoxy on the more high power voice coils. In the event of rocking, the epoxy is there to protect the magnet wire coating.

First of all, Stereoqueen represented herself as a member of the company and you the company knew very well of this and stated it.

Secondly the coil was already well above any temperature that I or Precision Econowind, where I assume the coil came from, would recommend it being used.

I didn't put the thermocoupler there so I don't know if it touched or not, maybe it did. Fact is that the subwoofer got quieter at that power level and was in the process of dying. Does it really matter if the spark was caused by that or not? It was beyond its thermal limit. We were asked to test it further even though we knew it would blow.

I will not apologize for what your company allowed to happen with that ignorant girl, after all she was a moderator on your very own forum.

I'm done with this thread, as I stated I wrote PAP off long ago.

PS The thermocoupler is coated in a rubber material and is nothing more than a wire, and had no damage to it after the test //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Interesting stuff. Thanks for clarifying.

Best,

Shitty thermocouple if the end is coated in rubber. The rubber won't let it react to quick temperature changes as it is an insulator obviously. Also you don't know how a thermocouple works obviously if you think it is no more than a wire. It is actually a junction between 2 dissimilar metals that creates a voltage that varies by temperature, all your DMM is doing while reading the temp is reading the voltage the thermocouple is putting out.
