[QUOTE="NutHugger, post: 7719287, member: 627450"] You're not helping your case. More cone area does not = more spl. It just doesn't. It never has. Theoretically if you could apply infinite power to a woofer it would be ideal. Reducing cancellation is ultimately what SPL is about. NOT increasing cone area by way of adding more woofers. They introduce cancellation to each other. Next time you're at a show and someone has a wall you can get inside of, see if they will let you. Put your head in the center behind 2 or more woofers. however you can get in the center. Have them turn it up some. Notice the eery quiet of cancellation. Move a little and notice the crazy intense spl. that is because those woofers introduce cancellation to each other. We all know about the little tricks people can do to their interiors etc to gain BIG. How are those increasing rms power or cone area? I would bet you couldn't do high 50's if you have 6 18's. Why stop there. I bet you couldn't with 50 18's. See where this is going? By your logic if some is good more is better and it's clearly not. [/QUOTE]
