DVC

[vladd 26]

I know what you're thinking, but it's not the typical noob question. I'm wondering how the coils are wound on a DVC speaker/sub. Are they wound with one above the other, is one on top of the other? Jimj and i were discussing this earlier, maybe someone here will know.

here's the thoughts so far...

One above the other is wrong cause this is just a split coil, if there's no gap then the coils are touching shorting and acting as one coil, not two

One wound on top of the first--They'd touch still

The only thing is maybe they have some sort of thin insulation, but under the heat conditions i don't see this as being very effective

The wire is coated.

Thats all im going to say so i dont look dumb

They are wound one on top of the other.

There's a pic of an MT coil.

Sweet, I've been wondering about how that worked, but never got around to postin it.

I know i'm going to get pwnt on this, and i kinda hope i do, but if one is on top of the other, wouldn't one coil behave differently from the other, especially if they're both powered at the same time?

Short answer; Not really

thought they where wount side by side, as in the individual wires side by side, not the entire coil. My misonception i geuss. I may have to go buy a cheap DVC driver to tear it apart to verify one wya or the other.

One of top of the other would cause differences but as long as the coil's wire length is the same and size is reletively the same and windings are the same i geuss the differnces would be no more than the 15% differnece in any given driver's T/S parameters from the test batch for the T/S parameters.
