[QUOTE="msrpIZtooMUCH, post: 1399970, member: 565422"] Well, I have several broshures (spelling??) outlining specs for subs and it's a little bit different for each manufacturer. But, generally, as the cone gets bigger, the sub plays a LITTLE bit lower. One exception that I found was RE. The 18 inch xxx wont play as low as the 10, 12, nor the 15. This is just what I see on paper though. In the real world on the other hand I find that the larger the cone area the less "accurate" the bass notes are. The 15s and 18s seem to struggle more in an sq set up...more so than 12s and 10s that is. For spl on the other hand, they seem to shine. How much deeper will an 18 will play than a 15? All else being equal...little to none. It will just displace that much more air thus making it louder, and be that much less accurate. Thats the best way that I can explain it based on my experiance.
