cone area has nothing to do with it, eh? Then whats the differnce in a 8, 10, 12, 15, 18? Why would they not make them all the same size? Just to take up more room? no. I quote:
"the bigger the cone, the 'heavier' the bass. It's kind of like a xylophone. The higher notes are made of shorter bars whereas the lower notes are made of longer bars. "
"Subwoofers produce bass by moving large volumes of air. It makes sense then that a larger diameter speaker is going to be able to move more air than a smaller diameter speaker. "
And any company is going to rate their RMS as high as they can because it is good for advertisement. So, going over the rms isnt reccomended, ever. I told him to run between 750 and 900 watts per sub on subs rated at 1000 rms. That way, he will be able to play his system loud and not be worrying about damaging subs. (as long as he sets the gain before clipping-points)
So what part of any of that do you call my "B.S. Theories?"
I believe you said that the size area doesnt matter? Well it does. Because thats HOW subs make sound. The larger the area of the cone, the more air it moves, the more air moving, the louder the sound.
