[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 972040, member: 549629"] Because Strokers are designed to burp at or near tuning in a vented setup where cone excursion is minimal, but box efficiency is maximized. Try using a stroker for daily music listening, lack-luster at best. This is not to take away from strokers or say you cant get one to work decently daily, but that's simply not their design intent, nor does that show excursion is meaningless to output. Sealed systems for example rely solely on cone area and cone excursion to determine output (where as vented systems also have the enclosure efficiency to add to output). Excursion becomes a big issue in SPL with sealed systems. And before you say it (SPL and sealed systems dont go together), not everyone is building an SPL rig that will be burped at tuning. Someone wanting a sealed system with big output should definitely look for a sub with alot of excursion. Even in vented systems, when deviating further and further from tuning (ie: listening to music, not just single note burps), excursion becomes more and more of an issue. Strokers are a good example of how excursion isn't everything in determining output (for vented systems), but they certainly do not show that excursion is meaningless to output. [/QUOTE]
