[QUOTE="VWBobby, post: 7364616, member: 624844"] If moving mass doesn't affect a speaker, how come no matter what level of brakes you put on a 4000lb car, its still going to take at least 130 feet to stop it from 60mph? Now, you are going to say "that's what stronger motor force is for". Stronger motor force can help control the speaker better, true, at the sacrifice of sound quality (distortion introduced). Sensitivity. Lets say you have a lightweight cone/suspension. The speaker should have a higher sensitivity. It will require a lighter motor to control this mass. The speaker should be able to reproduce more subtle tones, more accurately. For instance, high quality pro audio or home theater speakers will reproduce drum sounds, guitar or vocals with more accuracy than a typical car audio speaker. This is because the speakers are generally made from lighter materials, paper or wool cones, and generally have much lighter suspensions. This is where car audio speakers normally fail in SQ. Their mateirals and contruction generally lend themselves to be more sloppy, either not producing the sounds (at all), or not producing them accurately (distortion). At least that's my understanding. Feel free to discuss. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
