[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 1145552, member: 555320"] No. No. And No. Magnet size means absolutely nothing. Neo magnets for example. Extremely small, but extremely powerful. Cone surround size means absolutely nothing.....other than the fact that too wide of a surround can eat up cone area, decreasing displacement (subsequently decreasing output). Voice coil size; bigger isn't inherently better. If a 2" coil fits the criteria for a certain sub, there's no need to go up to 3". But, *in general*, the larger the coil size, the more thermal power handling a subwoofer has. There are some other techno-babble things going on with a different sized coil.....but having a bigger coil doesn't inherently make one sub better than the other. [/QUOTE]
