[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8399155, member: 614752"] Actually enclosing the coil to force air past it through vents will be marginally better for thermal handling and at the end of the day most of those gimmicky things don't really add up to much as far as power handling, certainly in terms of how much output you get for the extra power. Building a loudspeaker that can take a ton of power just for the sake of bragging about how much power you are using is really impractical, but it sells a lot of equipment to a certain niche market. Also most brands avoid neo because of the COST. There is absolutely zero evidence of neo magnets failing due to heat in audio appplications I worked for a RF dealer in the mid 90's and while they still made some industry leading products then, they really did their retailers dirty. I haven't bought anything from them since. At the end of the day, this is going to be like Jackhammer or SMD woofer. All show and no go for people who have money and like to flaunt it. Parts will be horribly expensive and then in a few years totally unobtainable, and you'll wind up with a woofer that can be outperformed by any measure by existing products. [/QUOTE]
