umm. they are $170 plus shipping, i think you can find them on ebay. they sound like a 15" with a 4" coil for $170, not very good... atleast not what it should sound like.

my buddy bought 2 ($420 shipped) and put them in about 9 cubes tuned to 34hz on a SPL 5500D (MAYBE 2500 watts lol) and I blew him away big time with my single 18" RLP on 1500 watts (SAZ1500)

this is funny. op has no idea as to teh benefits or downfalls of a 4" coil.. he merely heard bigger coil= MOAR POWAAAA

Curious, why do you need a 4" coil?

Most high end subs (especially SPL subs) use 3" coils. There is not really an advantage in having a 4" coil over a 3" coil.

Look at your RE MT....3" coil...i forget who...sundownz I believe...posted a picture of an MT he had where the cone was destroyed but the coil still looked new...the coil took the power and outlasted the rest of the softparts...4" coils will absorb more heat but when the 3" coil outlasts the rest of the speaker...whats the use?
I've heard alot of different reasons why 4" coils aren't used too often. I head something about haveing alot of area inside the coil or something which resulted in a weaker motor than one that used a 3" or something...but the main thing is the suspension.

RE Destroyer vs. Concept CSP (same motors)

The Destroyer used an 8" spider because that is the largest the 12-spoke basket would fit, the CSP on the otherhand used a 6-spoke basket wich would accept a 10" spider. The 8" spiders are built for 3" coils and had to be cut to accomidate the 4" coil...this limited the ammount of travel the sub move, and also gave a less than perfect edge to be glued to the former

...subs that do use them..

TC5400, Cactus Sounds, Rockford T2, RD Audio SHW, Concept CSP/RE Destroyer, OLD Rockford Power HX2 and RFR-1812, RE MX and more that I can't think of right now

As far as bigger coils...I've heard PrecisionPower had a 5" coil and Audiobahn had a 6" at one time...just dont expect much travel out of them
