[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 2823653, member: 549629"] Yes, you are right cone size is not the factor. That was not my intended point, displacement was. The louder you wanna be, the more air you are gonna need to displace. Cone diameter is merely one variable of that equation, cone excursion and enclosure efficiency are the others (basically). Say you buy this super duper sub that has the potential to move tons of air (either by massive excursion, or by raw power handling while playing at or near tuning where enclosure efficiency kicks in), but your space is so limited you must put a small port (cross section) in it... are you gonna get great performance over all? If your sub works well in a small box, and has good low end, it must be inefficient... Hoffman's Iron Law and all that. Personally, Id rather have an efficient setup I dont have to throw gobs of power at to perform well down low, if I was getting an 18.
