Weber 15F150 (30W with a rubbing coil) - uprated it to a 50W coil. Took 5 hours. Next one will be faster LoL

What does a rubbing coil sound like?

sounds uncomfortable.
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

If you push the cone with your fingers, you can feel friction and hear the coil scrapping against the magnetic pole piece. Not free movement.

When you dime the speaker, its sounds kinda distorted, weebly and shitty. Not nice and loud.
