I looking to hand build various loud speakers just for fun, both a subwoofer mag assembly and ribbion tweeter. I've found rod, bar and sheet 1008 low carbon steels in mcmaster.com but it doesen't say anything about their magnetic properties.
My question is can any 1008 low carbon steel be used...
In loudspeakers how do they attatch the magnet slugs to the top plate and back plate?
I know its some kind of glue or epoxy but i don't understand how that effects the flux flow between the magnet and the steel?
What bonding agents are better for this purpose and why?
