I found an interesting craigslist ad.. 2 twelves in a box with JBL bp 600.1 amp for only 175.. think I could flip and make a profit?

Keep those Shivas for yourself. XBL^2!!!!

I dont have the monies.. I read the shiva's are nice drivers! and the jbl is a decent amp.. tell more @ciaonzo; !

sq oriented... Still contemplating this.. maybe get rid my spl audio 15" since its being neglected..

Want kind of response(dbs) would I get out of these with the proper power? Ported?

I could save some change.. and these wouldnt be too power hungry for my lil alternator.. ~1000 watts daily would be too much for the pair?

I'd love to have those subs...

im really liking what I read about this xbl motor .. when was it invented?

 

[ciaonzo 5,000+ posts]

Quite a few years ago. I"m not sure about the power handling on that particular driver. They respond well to just about any power. The coils aren't massive so thermal is likely the limiting factor.

I think they were originally made in 02-03.

that they do, one characteristic of the xbl motor.. btw, very noob question about the "anatomy and physiology" of motors.. what is a voice coil.. like visually..what is its function.. how is it assembled in general motors?

what size enclosure guys?

overhung and underhung voice coils?

So, I get it now.. usually people take gap shots of subs, and the LMT can be easily seen as diifering windings on the visible coil.. Do you see the coil in split-gap coil? Does inductance make the coil move up and down?

Does voice coil rest on a pole? much like a stripper moving up and down and being guided and works harder for dem dollas?

Not usually.
Inductors are coils so voice coils are inherently inductive. Gap treatments with faraday rings and such can help lower inductance and stabilize flux.

Here's an LMT/LMS coil (and a shameless plug).
