@@caraudiolab you're very welcome. And I appreciate you joining.

@@SlimeAround221 OK...

@@SlimeAround221 Any driver will do exactly what you tell it to do, up to the point of destroying itself. Just because it will do something, doesn't mean it was meant too. I've never seen one play well below 30hz, with any type of authority... period.

@@TheAceTroubleshooter The stuff from Thilo, getting harder to come by anymore. I feel your pain.

@@TheAceTroubleshooter no 12" cones though

@@Chuck_Sanders Ohhhhh rip :(

@@Bentleymetalworx I'm sure that would work, absolutely. I do have some rings that I hat routed out of scrap birch years ago for different size subs. But they won't work on these types of surrounds that come out closer to the frame edge. I'm down to try anything, and always looking to improve upon, or find easier ways to do things. Great idea!

@@AlexCarl-j7m give that baby boy, a big hug and a kiss!

@@Chuck_Sanders we will for sure! he’s growing up so fast! Can’t wait to see yall again!

@@AlexCarl-j7m I know he is lol. And a few months will be here before you know it... and we will see you guys.

@@jfnunn1778 Ah, don't be scared. Just take your time, measure a few times, and it'll come out good. If you run into any problems or issues, you can always reach out and I'll do my best to help. But I'm sure you'll do just fine. 👍

For sure man all's u have to do is try and make sure u have your coil spaced and squared up .

@@christopherparis6841 the upper spider does more than become a show piece. Spacing keeps the coil more linear in its axial movement. You have two axis points when doing so, versus just stacking spiders, where you have only one axis point.

@@christopherparis6841 no need for a bolt down clamp. If you glue properly, there is no need. Never had one come apart, in all the years I've done this. Many manufacturers are now only using rubberized glue, (like E600 type adhesive)for everything, therefore they use built down rings... case in point was the a Sundown U series I recently did... they used that on the spider Landings, and a clamp to hold the spiders down. It pulled out clean after removing the screws from the ring.

@@christopherparis6841 not RE.... it's from the Eclipse Titanium Pro

@@christopherparis6841 the only thing different is the color of the spiders. They have the same roll profiles and spacing. Many companies utilize different color spiders together. Some manufacturers mix linear and progressive together with a spacer, to get a certain compliance they want or to control the linear travel to their particular needs.

@@christopherparis6841 Well, it's a true, triple slug 3hp volcano top...as shown many videos back. It still retains the serial number sticker, under the boot on the motor, as does many I have sitting on the shelf. I'm very familiar with most all of Thilo's designs.

@@christopherparis6841 it's a TC sounds volcano motor different basket,,he making a custom SPL sub

@@christopherparis6841 Alibaba.. lol, I'm very sure it's a TC Sounds...I have many, many of his drivers from over the years. From TC I still have a few epic series, lms and lmt series to AudioPulse, Sunfire Aura, Lightning Audio Storm and others. Even when he (Thilo) took designs overseas, it wasn't Alibaba either at the time. But now days China will copy about any design, like when his patents ran out on the Ti frame, the Axis frame and a few others. Now everyone uses his designs. I just chose this frame, instead of using one of my many Ti frames i keep in the archives.

@@christopherparis6841 but they would be different, as one is a Tc Sounds and one would be copy. Just because you can copy a design, doesn't make it the same or as good. Thanks for the comments.

@@Chuck_Sanders See Chuck this is what I'm talking about you got these guys that get all upset if you change one bolt now it's not a TC sounds anymore I guess next time in the description put TC sounds motor whatever kind of hardware you're using the exact basket where the cone came from who made the voice coil Don't forget the brand of epoxy you use I told you they want the whole backstory on the subwoofer 😅😅😅😅😅

@@FrankStPeter ah man, it's all good. If you remember, I went over all that before I started the build on this motor lol. The person should go back and watch those, leading up to this point. But in case they don't watch the previous videos, here's the rundown. It's a 12" UA frame with almost identical parameters of a TI frame, with 10" spider Landings. It has a USA made copper coil with high temp coating based off the original coil design, two progressive roll spiders that have been spaced, a double stitched tall roll surround, all sitting on top of a 3hp volcano top motor(yes, a real triple slug Tc Sounds 3hp). As far as the CA glue and epoxy brand I use...BS Industries more so as of late. Black high temp Voice coil adhesive is Hernon. Easy enough haha. Hopefully that'll help them. They had also said this was an old RE motor in another comment... but no Re motor looks like these at all.. not the SE,SX is SEX of I am remembering those from Scott correctly. Plus they were plated and polished steel used on the old Re motors. I will admit that in the past 28 years, I seem to forget more than I remember it seems. Getting old, man.. lol.

@@FrankStPeter OK, cool man. I go through clamps quite often lol. I appreciate that very much.

Get a couple metal rings n use 4 vice grip sets or 4cclamps it's kinda really nice

Very true man... very true.

I appreciate it bud. I hope they get you straightened out.

@@FrankStPeter you always are buddy! 😂

ditto

@@FrankStPeter hey brother... trying to stay 😎

@@MatthewGuynn-ki8rn I mean honestly.. it's a pretty damn solid built sub. It plays low, gets pretty loud, handles the power really well, and sounds good. Plus it wasn't cookie cutter like others tend to be. I would use it, if I had a use for it, that's being honest.

@@annihilationindustries1990 yeah man. It's real carbon fiber, high gloss. It's not "plastic" like one person said, lol.

@@Chuck_Sanders yah MBE and I were arguing . Then again he's a box builder not a 747 mechanic certified with a federal license 🤣

@@annihilationindustries1990 correct, that's where one should learn about Composite materials... and if you know composites (which I know you do) then you'd know it was real.. lol. I remember that conversation btw..

@@Chuck_Sanders yes I remember that one too and I literally zoomed in on my desk top and could tell it was real

I remember that 😂..

@@lugo2510 is it still complete? Send me an email at: nobsaudio76@gmail.com And we can discuss possible options for your subwoofer. Thanks

@@manekshaw7684 of course, like I said in the video it has about 15-20 minutes on the test bench after being built. Was tested on around 400 watts or so, on a frequency sweep between 24hz to 45hz

@@alexcarl9868 Thanks for watching, and you're more than welcome. . Mr Carl 👍

@@annihilationindustries1990 I was wondering where you been brother. It's a red single layer progressive medium stiffness lower spider, and a black progressive medium/soft upper spider with dual flat leads. .. both 10" and this should be a very musical subwoofer with some throw.

@@Chuck_Sanders yah the peaks and valleys look tall for some good excursion

@@Chuck_Sanders I will be back at the two projects I have to finish maybe next week. One is a cedar river table and the other is that mini 5.1 surround sound

@@annihilationindustries1990yeah I'm hoping you throw that on your channel. I'd like to see them man.

@@Chuck_Sanders oh for sure that's what we are about as well besides speakers

@@FrankStPeter nah, you are just quick my man.

@@FrankStPeter Frank.... how it going.

@@JasonWW2000 it is a common problem with these subwoofers, and a few others that use that style of termination or type. And yes I got it from him quite awhile ago. I tried contacting them about this and the customer service was all but nothing.

​@@Chuck_Sanders If you do another video on these, can you show some close ups of the terminals and how they broke?

Never mind, I found some pictures of what they originally looked like. Is it just a long metal spade held in place with a piece of plastic and a screw? I've never seen that set up before. It looks kind of odd. Have you had a chance to put it in a box and hear what it sounds like?

@@JasonWW2000 so, the terminal is a blade, similar to a blade on a fuse. It slides or is pressed into a thin slot in the plastic terminal holder. It has a hole in the top of the blade for the spider lead wire to be soldered to, and a hole in the bottom fit the 10ga wire to be soldered to. It is very flimsy on the lower section of that blade, due to the heavier wire and if you bend it more than a few times or bump it, they snap right off. I have an older video of this sun, and you can see me go over a bit on that video. The material is very soft and thin on that spade style blade used.

@@JasonWW2000 I'll zoom in on the video I'm making to show the finished product. So you can see the terminal block design.

@@FrankStPeter that's what everyone keeps telling me lol

@@Mr.NiceGuy-xd3mm they are both, one in the same. Some call it the "winding width" and others call it the "wind height" as they are both the same thing.

@@MatthewGuynn-ki8rn no doubt man. And everyone is in such a rush, to get nowhere really fast.

@@FrankStPeter we got in from Atlanta late last night. What's up Frank?

You're very welcome.

Thanks! And I have a few upcoming recones/ builds to do, and one I will finish up from previous videos and I'll cover that for sure. Thanks for watching and subscribing to the channel as well.

Thanks man. I will get with you later today. I appreciate your business very much.

@@Chuck_Sanders okay

I'm not sure I know which version or model of stroker you are referring to. I would need the model to reference with.. sorry.

​The new SPCL Stroker they are making. Its basically a remake of the old Stroker. Its got the spider in the middle of the cone.

@@JasonWW2000 I've seen them, but I have no experience with one. I dunno how it can be over hung and under hung, unless it somehow has a split gap. It doesn't have enough top plate for xbl2

@@JasonWW2000 that is, if it's the "classic" revamp I'm thinking of

​@@Chuck_SandersYou can adjust the center spider so it's slightly pulling up or pushing down causing the voice coil center line to change.

Everyone has their own way of assembling a driver. I leave the former intact, so that I can flood the upper joint of the cone to former, and so i can encapsulate the leads without worry of over spilling any epoxy. And also gives me less room for error with the compression cap as well, to sit right, as it snaps into place on the former. Essentially like the old saying of measure twice and cut once. Trimming the former is my last step once the drop in is glued in place, as the former will not distort from cutting it. It is an easy cut, with a break away blade.

@@Chuck_Sanders it also makes it a lot easier to add mass if you don't like the TSPs

@@FrankStPeter true

For decades, I've always cut the former down before gluing the dust cap in place. This way, once I have soldered the leads in place, I can encapsulate the leads without worrying about overflow of the epoxy.

Thank you I’m just a head of your video 😂😂😂 keep up the good information man

@@anthonywhite17128 no problem, and thanks. 👍
