Hello People
I haw one very important question for me to ask you all.
What will happen if I change the voice coil of my speaker.
My magnet weight is 30 Oz. (0.85 Kg). This magnet weight I think can be used with voice coils
that goes to about 120 W r.m.s. Max. (I will bee very happy if someone thinks differently).
I want to place voice coil that can take 150 W r.m.s. , But I think that the magnet will be week for that.
Is there going to be distortion or what?

There are two things that make up a speaker's motor - the voice coil and the magnet. On older speakers, an electromagnet replaced the magnet to supply a fixed magnetic field, and it worked very well. But the point is that the voice coil is a determiner of motor characteristics - namely, it's strength and its impedance. The magnet also contributes to strength, and the mass that is moved sets the resonant frequency of the motor to a large degree. All of these things are interrelated, and so your selection of the voice coil properties will determine the behavior of your speaker.
