I'm currently comparing drivers from the catalog of an Aussie components supplier. Some drivers are dual voice coil units, but for most of them they dont give specs for the three possible configurations (single coil / both in series / both in parallel)
Has anyone discovered a "rule of thumb" that allows you to convert parameters. Most stay the same, but the following change:
impedence and power handling - OK I can work those out
sensitivity, Qms, Qes, Qts - all affect the design
I know some drivers are rated for resistive braking by loading one coil with a resistor or short, but those drivers generally publish their figures.
I would also like peoples opinions on the wisdom or not of putting my recommended designs for Home Theatre for each driver on my website. I don't want to get sued.
Thanks,
Collo
