Over my pay grade.BUT? I think the dominating principle is that the coil be SQUARE. For round, that's as many turns per layer as layers. Without regard to the diameter of the CORE.
When I did my noodling? I kept varying the size of hte CORE using standard PVC sizes until I got close than varied another parameter.
I eventually got a 'square' coil of DCR within 5% of the Magnepan stock coil......so no increase in bottom end, by even a db or so.....
A POTENTIAL problem with SQUARE is that the EDGE is vulnerable. Nick? And loss of insulation. This is not a good thing, if taken to extremes.
Too much is never enough
