[QUOTE="stevewilko, post: 643721, member: 8651"] Hi Hawkear, Interesting concept, I will consider it some more, but, I think the advantage of the elliptical coil on a target generation basis is the sensitive 'toe' at the leading point of the elliptical coil. For example, I have an 18" x 12" which shouts small bits under the 12" leading edge that the middle point of the overall mono doesn't snipe so well. Then I suppose the geometry or maths of the ellipticals, as mine above, provides 18 + 12 = 30, divided x 2 equates to a 15" round mono total mass configuration. Then, considering this finding I have the potential of 12" sensitivity with 15" depth potential approximately. Then to ponder what you have proposed I think that the same result would be attained with a sideways mount that you are thinking about.... but would the leading toe sensitivity get run over! There is incremental forward motion swing overlap to consider with my 12" ' leading toe' pulling me up with an excellent target response that I appreciate with my choice of this coil. Good topic ha ha. Cheers Wilko. [/QUOTE]
