BTL N1 Video!

Nice!!!

will the N1 still be able to hit the low lows just as good if not better than the gen 2 btls

The N1 specs closer to the Q, the N2 is the equivalent of the Generation 2.

"Low lows" are enclosure dependent 95% of the time

I've said this a million times.

If you want to have ultra low frequencies, tune low.

If the sub has enough coil to move...it is going to play them. None of our subs have any problems doing any of it..

I love the new magnets, if you think about it they're so much stronger than the ferrite magnets of old. The horseshoe-shaped flux coming out of that end of the magnet equals the circular flux from a standard magnet. It's genius. An sq woofer doesn't need a huge flux, it needs a [mass] balanced, concentrated flux. Or at least that's how I think about it, I might be totally wrong Can't wait for my N2 now.

Sorta..

It's a completely different understanding on how flux flows and works..

Generally speaking it is a fluid dynamics problem meets physics meets mechanical engineering and a dash of electrical engineering thrown in as well..given your background i'm you are all too aware of that one .

Scott and I did the very first original N2..and for some reason I was looking at it with a smart ass little grin when I was machining the parts to go together and yelled at Scott to come out in the machine shop..

Simply said "I wonder what will happen if we make this thing a half motor...just to really mess with peoples minds"

..and here she sits now ..simply me being a complete smart-ass and it works beautifully.

Lol that's pretty awesome. You know what they say, "the genius that invented the mule was none but a jackass"

Can't try it if you don't build it

Exactly

3D FEA can only get you so far...if you don't understand the why's and how's behind it..you simply won't get it at all.

It's really easy to take a xerox and hit 'copy'..doing something like this is a bit deep into left field for the car audio crowd

Effin cool. I'll take an 18" IB version to show off that motor in my setup.

onebadmonte... We definitely can do that

This one had a Q coil in it and a clamped 522W going to it. We are waiting on the 2 layer coils to come in and test with. Those will most likely be the coils of choice for the N1s. If they do what I feel they should in terms of SQ, we will put those in production.

Thanks,

Scott

I'm not entirely sure about the mechanics of subwoofers, but for 522 watts, that thing was moving!

Yea my name should really be AmpSam I could go for days on anything Electric Power but I know very little about how speaker motors work physically other than some diagrams and calculations from a sophomore fields and waves class... I see lots of curving field vectors interacting dynamically with a larger fixed flux and my brain just gives up when I try to imagine the sinal wave in from the amp translating into an accurate sound pulse, I just decide I'm too tired to think anymore

Anyway your job is fascinating, I've enjoyed lots of professions, can't say I've gotten to play with as cool of equipment as you guys tho (maybe the 500 MHz NMR in the chem lab, but its kinda boring)...

Look at that excurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrsion.

Magnetics is fun stuff once it clicks

I'm diving more into your side of expertise of things as of late...keeps the mind sharp to work on other industrial projects
