[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 8140131, member: 560148"] Not many motors could handle that kind of excursion on the back end of that stroke without bottoming out. It'd take a special basket for any speaker that wanted to have that kind of excursion, driving costs up alot. It can be done though, the parthenon back in the early 2000's designed by Dan Wiggins had over 80mm of excursion capabilites, but nobody would pony up the cash to have him build one lol. $5,000+ IIRC. You could pick your cone size. It was a dipole driver so no box needed, cone could be up to a 48x48inch square. That's a single driver with the surface area of 9 18's, moving 2x-3x as far as any 18 is currently capable. Even without a box, the dipole loss was minimal and you still at over 120db without any gain whatesoever down to 10hz. In a home, probably closer to 5hz and over 125.. Sickening. (realize a car adds around 30db+ at those kinds of frequencies so we are talking about a single speaker doing a 150-160db at less than 20hz NOT on a burp if it was in a car) [/QUOTE]
