i was just wondering how much further progress engineers can make to subwoofers and subwoofer technology, what do you guys think is a goal thats attainable in the next couple of years? or next scams...
A perfectly flat bl curve, with a very strong yet effecient motor, and a cone with even less mass than one's now adays. High linear excursion with very low power requirements. Speakers with very low distortion.
i think the most profound advancement will be regarding heat dissipation, and developing a material that basically doesn't get hot as quickly. this will work wonders for distortion, failure, power handling.. etc i have a mag where this cat actually sprays nitrous through small ports in his motor structures onto his VC's. it looks amazing, but i just couldn't imagine how it worked.

isnt the brahma currently the only sub with a fairly flat bl curve??????????
Good luck finding a material that doesn't wasted much heat. They need to use super-conductors. Anything that uses electricity wastes lots of energy in the form of heat. Regular incandescent light bulbs waste 95% of the energy used in the form of heat.
my alarm clock stays relatively cool, lol. it's just a matter of efficiency like marshall was saying. i'm sure copper, nickel and the ilk offer advantages over other metals in their ability to conduct well. i think that there will be a compound of some sort that puts us up there in the near future. 20 years from now i think our kids will be amazed that we used to have to actually upgrade our alternators to achieve big power. seems rediculous now actually. especially for 400.00
well...a resistive load will "use" electricity and create heat. (think of an electric heater, current passes through the coils and they heat up because of the resistance)
just imagine if we could use super-conductors (like joe said). but amps would have to be able to handel a load that is pretty much a perfect short. (anybody wanna run there amp at 0.1 ohm?...lol)
