Adire Audio releases a new driver motor. How does 7 INCHES of LINEAR travel sound?

Matt, GET THOSE CROWN AMPS OUT!! Jeez man! And veneer isnt cheap (not as much as one would expect anyways) But still, slick lookin setup.

As for box type, I think this thing would be perfect for IB setups. Do a cut through on the attic, mount it to the rafters and hope you have a steel frame house
I'm love to see this in a hatchback car (Where cabin gain REALLY gives you a kick) in a ported box tuned to around 50 or 55 hertz with about 10,000 watts on it. SPL records here we come!

Get them out where? Naw, they're not collecting dust, I just don't have much use for them right now unless I swipe a pair or three of the bose 901's we have (I know, I know...)

Excuse my ignorance, but what the hell does it do?

Its a motor for a speaker. Essentially it makes the purdy cone move back and forth.

It's the motor assembly ("magnet") for a speaker (subwoofer). The voice coil goes around the center pole and travels linearly along it, moving the cone.

Bump for the SIN guy to explain himself.

Interesting... It doesn't show up on Google.

I've got your 7 inches of linear travel right here!

I think my brain is melting....

I think I know how lay-people feel when I talk computers with them and their eyes glaze over...

And how much does this cost? BTW I like the looks of your box ThisIsMatt, I've been reading some of your posts over at HTF. I like the dogits? Grooves whatever, I forget what my pa called them

Eh nice idea but the cost is crazy

 

[DurocShark]

16 cubic feet of displacement?

/*evil genius thoughts...

About a year ago, I spent about two hours talking to Dan Wiggins at the Adire shop in Seattle. Smartest man I've ever spoken with. I had a look at the Koda components before they were released, and I just knew that he'd have something up his sleeve to shock the $hit out of us very soon. But i never could have imagined anything like this. That motor is abso-fvckin-lutely insane!!!! Now do I need 4 Brahma 15's or........?

Damn I've been found out! I made the grooves with a dado blade on the table saw

If ever there was a driver capable of producing the brown noise, this is it!

And broken rear hatch windows. I have seen it, with barely 158 db.
