is that a bowl?

Diy Driver
I made a little driver that resembles an oversized headphone driver.
It actually sounds fine, it just takes way too much power. Its nominal impedance is about 1.25 ohms.
With 4 amps of input (20w), it's not too loud. The bass is not lacking at all though.
I want to try putting more power through it. The amp I'm planning on using to power my sub system is rated for 5000w (more like 4300w probably) into 1 ohm in parallel-mono mode.
Does this look coil like it could handle that much for a short period? Thanks

Why yes lol I am rather limited on supplies..
I was going to use an oil can, but I don't have one

Seriously though..I'm quite limited on supplies.
I also thought I'd make one that worked as opposed to Household Hacker's iPod output shorting device. I just used a coil over a magnet (instead of in the gap) and put loads more power on it.

Am I the only one confused???

What I can say is that the xmax is low, the Vd is about that of a 4" driver (making up for the fact that most of this driver is a surround).
According to the way it sounds, I'd say the Qts is high (don't know where I got that...other than a loose boomy sound...)
If someone were crazy enough to buy enough wire, bowls, magnets, and cellophane to make enough of these to supply 110dB/10hz output anechoic... you would need a LOT of power.

You might need like 10000 of them..
That's around $6000 in wire, $?000 in bowls, $?0000 in magnets, and a lot of cellophane!
Crude models show that you'd need about 1Mw for your 110dB fix. Ouch.
Well that was fun to model such an impractical situation where you'd need like 70 -Crest 10001- amplifiers to get 110dB at 10hz.
Bleehhhh

Hmm, that sounds like it needs to be in the "crazy DIY" thread
