[QUOTE="NSTALN, post: 8688071, member: 588169"] Seems to be a lot of generalizations being thrown around... Shallow-mount subs are designed to be...well shallow mount, not to sacrifice stroke. That's different from saying that manufactures often sacrifice stroke to accomplish a shallow-mount format, but that's not always the case. Many conventional subs in the modest price/power range have a clean xmax around 15mm...there are also a few shallow-mount subs that have that same stroke...Alpine R-thin, JL TW3's, Sundown SD's. Since output is essentially displacement the cone area of 4-12's with 15mm XMAX would be hard to match with 4-8's (12) Pi x R2 x XMAX = 113.04 x 15(mm) = 1695.6 (8) Pi x R2 x XMAX = 50.24 x [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]33.75(mm)[/COLOR] = 1695.6 This just compares a single 12 in relation to a single 8 (assuming all other things are equal) the XMAX of the 8 would need to be 33.75mm to match the output of a 12 with 15mm.
