[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 7246331, member: 549629"] 'Cone area is more efficient than stroke' makes no sense. Air displacement = cone area * stroke. Both factors are of equal value in that equation. If you mean you get more output out of a 15" sub than you do an 8", given the same input power, that's true. It takes more power to increase excursion, but not cone diameter, right? But the sacrifice made by the larger sub over the smaller one is enclosure size. And how do you increase the 8's efficiency to increase its excursion (stroke) while maintaining the same input power? Increase enclosure size. Cone area is not the dominating factor you are suggesting it is. [/QUOTE]
