[QUOTE="mat3833, post: 6786507, member: 587645"] im ready to get flamed but im going to add my peice. smaller subs(aka 8" 10") are ALWAYS more punchy. and by punchy i mean throw on "two Weeks" by all that remains and listen to the **** near constant bass drum(about 6 hits a second). a smaller sub will produce more precise bass hits. a larger sub(aka 15" 18") are better at playing lower frequencies. now, im not saying that a larger sub cannot be punchy, or that a smaller sub cant play low. a high quality driver can do it all. and cone area directly affects SPL, the larger the cone the louder the sound will be given a certain excursion(or power). take a 10" sub and a 12" sub. same model sub, same amp, perfect enclosure for each, etc and for any given power the 12" will be louder. its simple math(which i dont happen to feel like putting in this thread seeing as mr Kyle did a much better job than i feel like doing.). now, for example, if you take a 10" sub with double the max excursion as the 12" sub the 10 will be louder, if(and only if) every other aspect of the subs are the same. excursion is a very important factor in reproducing sound. the more excursion the less the sub has to work to produce low tones.(and im not explaining why. google it, do some research for once) and at the same time more excursion means harder hits and cleaner sound. sound is all about moving air. the more air you can move, the better off you are. *zips up fire retardant suit* that is all Matt [/QUOTE]
