[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 2321543, member: 555320"] High frequency extension is primarily dictated by inductance, not woofer diameter. Beyond that, enclosure design can play a role aswell. A small sealed enclosure will have decreased low frequency extension, but it will have a nice little hump in the upper bass region. Keep in mind subwoofers are designed to play *gasp* [I]sub bass[/I]....[B]not[/B] midbass as you are wanting. So yes, when someone evaluates a subwoofer it's typically limited to the frequencies it was designed to play...[I]subbass[/I]. Why do you need to play 100hz through your subwoofer ? This is what the midbass speakers are there for ? If you [I]need[/I] to play 100hz from your sub...you have problems in other areas of your system. Anyways...if you are wanting high frequency extension out of a sub, look for a sub with low inductance (regardless of size). [/QUOTE]
