5.25" vs 6.5" components? Any difference?

[QUOTE="LosIsATool, post: 8406758, member: 632125"] [quote name='tommymilan311']Question? So, if 5.25" door speakers have different frequency response, or plays mid bass better, why doesn't the sub size change sound? I understand that a larger area will move more air and make it louder, but why not deeper as the bigger area of the door speaker gives you more mid bass. Or is it because all subs are capable of the frequencies? and in that case, wouldn't a 15" sub be able to handle low bass better than say a 8" sub? And wouldn't the 8" sub have an easier time with high bass? I've been told that the size doesn't matter :naughty:, but not a real definitive answer as to why. Sorry for sounding like a broken record on this, I'm just not good at accepting information without supporting evidence. Anyone have a good link I could read? Sorry [USER=658258]@EFD307[/USER] for jacking your thread, its just a somewhat related question.[/QUOTE] It's not that it can't play the same frequencies. It's the amount of output at every frequency. Our hearing is more sensitive as frequencys increase. Example- if you have 150db of sub bass you only need 120db or so of higher frequencies to blend with it. [/QUOTE]
