[QUOTE="n8skow, post: 8199037, member: 610656"] The additional cone area is a nice 'free' gain (in terms of SPL). Sony and Xtant tried similar cone area gains on their pentagonal woofers, Boston Acoustics with their ovals, JL with their oversized woofers, etc... And I would agree - I don't anticipate DD, Sundown, IA, TC sounds, etc. doing squares - but the high cost of custom tooling is probably as much a deterrent as their lack of interest... with the exception of Sundown mentioned in that list - I wouldn't really call any of those other brands high-volume producers, more niche oriented brands - so you also have to weigh the economical considerations of how long it would taking a smaller company to jump into producing something completely foreign to their existing production lines. You are probably aware there 'are' other companies that have followed though, MTX, Cadence, MB Quart, Hifonics, Pyle, PowerAcoustik - all offer squares... There's a lot more brands out there than just whats popular on the forums here =) [/QUOTE]
