[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8815473, member: 614752"] Because when your typical shopper is looking for a woofer they have some idea stuck in their head of what size driver they need to "play dem lowz" or how much cone area they think they have and all things being equal they're going to buy from whichever brand promises them they can pack the most cone area into the smallest space. To some extent this isn't even "wrong". Back in the 80s and 90s SPL builds would just cram as much cone area in sealed boxes as you could fit and add a shitload of power and you'd get loud. We're pretty much full circle back to that these days. Anyway, you'll need to hope that the brand publishes accurate specs and do the modeling yourself if you want to know how things will perform for you. I will suggest that from what I've seen at shows and all the only woofers that really seem to shine in unusually small boxes are the DC lineup. Build quality of soft parts used to be rather poor though and I haven't seen much of their stuff at shows up here in several years now. [/QUOTE]
