Don't smoke those cones

also found this info at www.diyaudio.com

so when you fry the voice coil you get high???

 

Looks interesting... Hemp is apparently very strong and light even compared to regular paper so having a cone made out of it could/should be awesome!

 

I'm sure it would be strong enough, I just don't understand why...

^ So they can attract all the idiot dopeheads who think it's "cool"

 

^ LOL they must be cutting in on audiobahns market share....

 

As far as composites go I have read about hemp cloth being used as an alternative to fiberglass and the likes...


IMO its probably not as strong as fiberglass or kevlar but a hemp/epoxy composite has to be a lot stiffer then a traditional pressed paper cone....
