[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8548162, member: 650438"] lighter weight lower mms = more efficient and louder on less power. Unless you have 3000 watts rms or so, going to a pair of 3 inch coils wont get you any louder. 3 inch coil = heavier moving mass MMS = less efficiency = less loud unless you throw enough power to it. there are some 3 inch coils that are less wound or shorter for more efficiency at the sacrifice of power handling and xmax and there are some 2.5 inch coils that have multi layer wounds and have increased power handling but sacrificed efficiency. What you want to aim for is high efficiency, low mms and high BL along with the proper EBP figures to work in the type of enclosure you want to run. [/QUOTE]
