[QUOTE="Hintzyboy, post: 3457170, member: 566521"] No, it is nowhere near impossible. All things being equal (even though they never are) one ten will play low with [B]more authority[/B] than one 8. But that is only because the ten is moving more air, and is therefore louder at all frequencies. This gives the illusion that the larger sub actually can play lower than the smaller driver. But if you add another 8, the pair will move more air and will therefore play lower louder than the single ten. That is why a few people posted db numbers at given subbass frequencies. The amount of output the substage can give at lower frequencies is what gives the appearance of being able to play lower. Not the frequency response of the driver itself Although that obviously comes into play when comparing DIFFERENT drivers, it doesn't have too much bearing when comparing different-sized drivers of the same design. Theoretically speaking of course [/QUOTE]
