AB-36 Chamber & Driver

I took the front access panel off of my AB-36 to take some pictures and measurements, and check out the driver. I poked the cone and found it surprisingly flexible. The cabinet is exactly the same as the EL-36 (the earthquake), except for the driver that is used, the label on the back, and the front access panel.

nicee man how much did you pay for it?

[bitcoredotorg]

Way too much to be buying another one again. ~900$ usd.

There are better plans out there...

He is doing no damage to the cone but also that is not how you test a cone rigidity,all pro audio cones will bend easily that way ,in proaudio soft cones play louder so they are installed with stiff suspensions(spiders).The strength of a cone is at the center of it,which means the cone will not bend easily if pressed from the center

900 usd ripped off i get these for 400usd ,lol

man richg101 is a hypocrite does not know wtf he is talking about , obviously the sub is very flimsy meaning that the sub is self compared to the thickness of a cone to a fosgate competition speaker is no competition ,, geez cerwin needs to make better sub quality after seen that u opened that i realized that all that shit in reality is like 30 bucks of wood and the sub itself like 150 give or take ,, i guess their just selling their technology but i still think i can craft one better

It just gives me the hebee jeebies when one starts poking at drivers. A driver cone moves a mass of air...and the pressure per... lets say a square inch is extremely low. A localized pressure at any small surface area will distort it. The ability of a cone not to deform is dependent on its shape more than its material "softness". An applied stress as you applied to that cone can distort the spider into a permanent condition, Some voice coil to pole piece clearances could be altered.

As long as I did not crease the cone at all, it won't hurt it. I decided to include the finger-poking portion of this video purely because of how thin and flimsy the cone is. It's not a very great driver, but it's still going strong.

it amazes me how many clueless people comment on vids like this. i see countless arguments between people who shout like they know a load of stuff when they clearly dont. the roughness of a cone doesnt dictate the lf response joker.

to the uploader... fingering that cone in such a way probably created weak points in your cone. the stresses applied to a cone in this type of cabinet means a weak point will be more likely to cause issues than in a standard direct radiating cabinet.

[djbojj]

haha, stop fingering the sub!

never mind I see its an afterburner sry
