Ok... Question..

May sound stupid.. but...

Ok, So all of my friends are finatics about how big the magnet is on the sub.. I would like to know how much the magnet actually contributes to how much power / how loud the sub is.. They think if one sub has a bigger magnet than the other than that sub is louder..

Thanks!

it is......

just look at a Sony explod 10" then look at an Audiopulse Revo and tell me which one is louder

It contributes very little to over-all performance. The magnet material, and even the shape/diameter of the slugs makes a bigger difference.

I think that will make it to a quote....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

The magnet plays a factor in the amount of force it takes to move the coil through the gap.Less magnet (BL) less resistance there is to the electrical charge flowing throught the coil.

Sorry Bonesninja quoted that wrong.....This will make it:laugh:.

Yeah it's not a main deciding factor, but on average the larger the magnet, the louder and more power hungry the sub is.

How is saying that a Q can put out 1400 rms unreasonable and sig worthy?

Doesn't make sense to me :/

speakers don't put out watts or power.

speakers just let power go through and the power electrocutes little midgets tethered to your cone and that makes the cone go back and forth.
