FS - Shocker Sig Big Gap Quad 1.2 ohms, Daily Monster!

Word on the street is that there were only @ 200 big gap motors ever made. Quite sought after for the ability to throw nearly any coil in them. Very nice.

Wow that's really impressive. And only 200? Sheit, rare piece right here. Beautiful sub, wish I had room for an 18, glws my man

Yep. I had a few and sold them since the small gap motor gains about .7 to 1.0 dB. Found out a little later talking with Shocker Mike that that was all he ever had made... I'd have kept mine had I known they were so scarce.

a whole db!? deuym, what does the tighter gap effect to help acheive this?

The attractive force of magnets is inverse square of the distance between their poles, as I can tell it's a bit more complicated as they get closer together, but generally speaking the forces are not simply doubled by halving the distance, but squared. Hold 2 magnets apart and bring them together, notice the force gets dramatically stronger the closer you bring them together, the effect is more dramatic the closer and closer you bring them together. The tradeoff is how much coil you can throw in the gap (the ammount of metal in the coil = thermal handling), and of course if it's too tight when the coil expands from heat it'll seize up in the gap. Also when you assemble them the margin of error is almost nil. Still though, throw a big 8 layer coil on a big gap motor and it'll go really nice and take plenty of power.

If OP was local I'd own this by now.

i have a large gap sig sitting in front of me...doesnt look like that sub. you sure thats what you have?

Post pic and compare and OP what's the mounting depth?

here is a photo of these. my teammates have four of these total. large gap, 8 layer coil sigs.

Top of motor does look a little thicker. But who knows might just be the angle

Maybe just the ferrite part is the same? I've actually seen another sig with an even bigger top plate than the ones we have.
