[QUOTE="Warbleed, post: 2749064, member: 549898"] Yes, he has obtained the true essence of the spider. There really isn't anything all that incredible that's required. You design the spider appropriately for the application. In most cases, you want the flattest possible Cms, with a spider or spiders which can adequately support the amount of moving mass in the system. Ideally, it should have absolutely NO impact on the sound whatsoever. It should provide relatively constant compliance and prevent lateral coil movement, and that's honestly about all an awesome spider should ever do. There isn't a single thing in a spider that cannot be nearly perfectly predicted with FEA, so if you want to sound like you know something by attempting to imply there's some sort of magic or voodoo involved in designing a good loudspeaker suspension, go for it. Can't say that I care much either way. [/QUOTE]
