Accidentally tumbled my Coke bottle and now it's all decarbonated. ;( ;( ;(

Around here they put a tarp in their bed and fill it with water and drive around like they are cool.

Make shift pools rofl.

Make shift douchebag pools, yes.

I won't lie, I'd love to do that once

Only if you take pictures.

Word is we might be doing a night dive with the fire company this evening.

[nem 2,019]

In the Susquehanna river.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

That's freaky.

[///M5 2,833]

Freaky fun. Night and water are two things I love together.

Yes freaky fun, I hope so!

The cone is slightly warm, the amp uber hot, and I have a big ass fan blowing on both. It's noticeably moving further now though. Of course it's also had more than 250,000 1" p-p motions as well.

Do you have any of your measuring equipment handy?

[///M5 2,833]

I have my personal measuring equipment here but no company stuff.

ie, no lasers but plenty of ways to measure acoutics.

[nem 2,019]

I figured you might be having some fun playing with that.

[///M5 2,833]

If I had a SV right now I'd take some data on it that would make FEA stuff look like childs play. It won't help me or Aaron though so it probably won't happen. Cost $1000 just to ship it here and then $1000 back so I'd need to have a different reason to spend that much company dough to have fun.

[///M5 2,833]

That being said it is fun to drive it through resonance and see how much more violently the whole structure reacts. Serious energy amplification.*

*all speakers do this to some extent so don't read that as a negative, just fun to see.

[///M5 2,833]

Sorry, I know you guys aren't morons but can see one click in the thread and misquote me or misread me badly.

And the motor is HOT

Demonstration of near field analysis results for small audio brands?

With in reason, due to the cooling channels, as long as the cone is moving the coil is cool enough.

Is it hopping off the floor yet?

I figured you would have some equipment hidden in your closet.

Not quite. We measure surface velocity. So any dynamics portion of the FE, but without any erronic assumptions that FE models make. When I first joined here I was maybe still working for Bruel & Kjaer in which case I had closets full of the worlds best speaker testing stuff including to do near field work. At this point I still have a B&K mic and spectrum analyzer, but no way of performing a simulated free field measurement. It isn't terrible hard to get there, but I just haven't had the need.
