Hello RandyB,First point, in my view is that compression is always a bad thing; however, if you are trying to engineer compression into a driver, you could
1. try using a very non-linear suspension by employing a suspension with a reasonably linear force/displacement characteristic at 'normal' excursions, but with a pronounced (much steeper) force/displacement characteristic at slightly greater than 'normal' excursions (i.e: your 1 to 2 % of the time). You would have to experiment with this.
2. if your driver uses a vented pole piece, block the hole, this will increase compression effects, but may also reduce power handling.
3. you could wind the voice coil in a non-unifrom way: tightly spaced coils in the normal excursion range (middle of the voice coil) and more widely spaced coils at large excursions (either end of the voice coil).
But what a waste.
Just out of curiosity, is the driver completely custom, or is it a Lowther (just a feeling) rebuild?
HAVE FUN
