Actually I was more thinking about making the magnetizing coil with 3 taps, let say for 100V, 160V and 222B. This way it would be possible to mitigate the coil impedance and to regulate how “fast” the diver will operate. The setting the right taps an...

Hello chaps,Firstly, something I forgot before was that the high impedance coil will have more turns... so the DCR etc will be stepped down as seen by the voice coil. My guess is that overall it will still provide slightly less damping, due to imperf...
