what kind of woofer

[Tutsola 10+ year member]

what kind of woofer will be best for listen to heavy/ death metal??? concerns about respons, worried that the woofer is not fast enough to keep up with 2 dual drumpedals and frantic use of them....

10" 12" 15" or even an 18"??? and how many do people recommend, single, dual, or as many as i can fit i can fit in the car....?

new member, all the way from norway by the way....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

It just varies from sub to sub. Don't think that the size should be a determinant in the response or output of the sub. It varies from manufacture how the sub will sound.

Um actually I would disagree with the above poster a smaller woofer will have quicker response between hits. I would go with 10 inch in matter of size.

Who says a 15 can't be as responsive or even more responsive than a ten inch.

90% install and enclosure, 10% driver.

the only thing driver size has to do with is output.

I'm pretty sure a 15" IDQ is more responsive and has better sound quality than a 10"volfenhag or a 10" audiobahn or even a lot of other 10" subwoofers on the market.

I may be wrong it just seems like alot of people seem to belive this. I am open to be corrected it would be great for me to learn something new. I know I have been hearing forever that there was better response from a smaller sub(saying both subs were same model and such.)

there was a thread in here that explained why dif sized subs respond the same

i cant find it .. i searched just now

it has somethign to do with ... if the song is playign at 40htz that means the woofer is. if the woofer moved slower it wouldnt be playing 40htz and hwould mess up the song 40 cylces per second is 40 cylces per second

true they have more mass to move, but it still moves at 40 cycles per second

something like that .. if someone smarter chimes in they might know where the thread is or how to exlain it better/more in depth
