[QUOTE="Full Tilt, post: 7715261, member: 640249"] Hey guys. Just around, I've heard the rumor that 'Doubling your cone area will give you a general increase of about 3 dBs.' I heard it once again lately, and it started making it's way into my mind. Now, depending on how sensitive your ear is, you may or may not be able to hear a difference in 3 decibels. I realize the change is totally dependent on the box, install, and a number of other factors, but with only a difference of three decibels, I was just wondering - do you guys think I could make 1 12 work instead of 1 15? I thought that dropping 3" on my cone's diameter would really kill output - but only losing that much cone area (vs cutting it in half,) would I hear a difference at all? [/QUOTE]
