[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 3021310, member: 549629"] The only square sub that shows any cone advantage is the 18". Any other size comparison and you could simply up-size your round sub to make up the difference. But once you reach 18" of round cone, that's it (I dont consider the jackhammer/abahn/clarion abortions in this discussion). 12 vs 12, yes the square will have more cone advantage. But Id just go out and buy a 15" round sub if it was that big of a deal to me. As yes, as Cot mentioned, the square cone shape does mean a sacrifice in excursion capability. Hence I have almost no use for any square beside the solo-x 18. Its meant to burp at or very near tuning where excursion is minimal, and thermal power handling becomes key. Couple a strong motor capable of dissipating alot heat/power with a cone not capable of being out-done... and you hav the solo-x 18. Anything else, meh, Id just as soon go round. Cheers.
