[QUOTE="Steven Kephart, post: 234632, member: 548397"] I would say that there is no "better" material. It just depends on what the design calls for. Engineering is making the best possible compromises for your design. As an example, I will use a sub already mentioned in this thread. The ED sub design called for dual spiders. Because of this, they had to use a flat cone. This meant that they needed a stiffer material to keep the cone rigid, which has the added effect of increasing the mass. So their design had to account for that so as the efficiency of the sub doesn't get too low and the Fs doesn' t skyrocket. Now as for who makes the best stuff, I would say that this is rather subjective since they make quite a few different products. But I will say that the top SQ subs out on the market are the JL W7 and Adire Brahma since they have designs that give them less distorion than anyone else, and both supply flat frequency responses within the intended application (in vehicle).
