Correct. The diameter is 15 inches, therefore the area of the circle is also 15!

To OP: noth would sound good, you won't be dissapointed with either.

maybe this will helpCalculating cone area: There are different methods for calculating cone area, depending on the shape of the subwoofer. For round subwoofers, the formula for calculating cone area is Radius squared times Pi (3.14). Example: Take a ten inch round subwoofer; the radius of all subwoofers is half the diameter, so the radius of a ten inch subwoofer would be 5 inches; the radius squared would be 5 times 5 which equals 25. 25 times Pi (3.14) equals 78.5. And there you have it; the total cone area of a ten inch subwoofer is 78.5 square inches

I hear this a lot.... but i dont think that cone area ALWAYS determans how loud/deep. Some subs perform better then others. For example 2 12" funky pups

You sir are a mathematical genius!

all you idiots knew what i meant 30 x pi to get the total and same for the 18 x 3.14 and what would be more....

fegs..the whole lot of ya...

thats why none of the real installers said NOTHING...morons

it's radius squared times pi...
