Hello forum! Please indulge me, if i may, and entertain a question or two ...
Let's say a guy holds JBL's SVG (Super Vented Gap) motor in the highest regard (for management of distortion, inductance, heat) ... so much so, that this crazy guy wants to create "new" custom drivers with this technology. Is it possible (and is it wise?) to do the following :
1. 15" SVG : Bolt the magnet/motor assembly from a new, readily-available 18" 2242 to the frame of a new, readily-available 15" 2226. Use the cone of the 2226 (from a new re-cone kit, perhaps), but use the coil/former from a new 2242 re-cone kit. Spider from the 2242 re-cone as well, i'm thinking ... ??
2. 12" SVG : same idea, of course ... but using the frame, and cone, from a new, readily-available 2206.
Is this possible? Certainly not very "cost effective", but let's put money aside for the moment as we entertain the "thought experiment". I'm not particularly worried about the loss of efficiency that may result from a heavier cone and/or coil ... compared to a 2227, for example ... and would even welcome a lower resonant frequency (Fs).
Please share your thoughts, and, finally, please tell me who may be both skilled and willing to perform the necessary surgery with precision!
Thanks in advance! Great to be here,
Jeff S.
