Good evening from NE Oklahoma! We had a beautiful day here...
I had a question about sub drivers and their properties. From my car audio days 15 years ago, i became vaguely familiar with Thiel/Small parameters and still remember what a few of those mean, I think. We had a program from Rockford Fosgate that had many different manufacturers t/s parameters built in so we could model custom boxes. It was very very cool.
Anyway, I was just noticing something about a couple of subs. Our mfw amp crapped out again, and I was inspecting the sub more closely as I moved it out of the way until the replacement amp comes in.
I noticed that if you tap lightly on the cone, the driver actually has some 'springiness' Does that make sense? Then I went to my PB13 that's filling in until the mfw is fixed, and the cone is very stiff. If you push it in slightly, it just returns to it's resting position. It's like comparing a car that has beefy shocks to one that the shocks have gone out.
Obviously the SVS has a stiffer suspension, but my ? is why? What does the looser suspension on the mfw do for it? Advantages? Disadvantages?
