kirill007 Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 The difference in sound between small and big subwoofers: There is no difference in sound, only in loudness. Bigger subs don't play lower nor do smaller subs play "tighter" or they can't hit the "lows". Maybe put this somewhere? Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for.

Bigger subs don't play lower nor do smaller subs play "tighter" or they can't hit the "lows". Maybe put this somewhere? Well the reproduction is highly dependent on the box, but you can't say the response won't change. While the "loudness" does increase with cone area, the response of the entire driver does too. Different size subs have different electrical and mechanical compliance, different resonant frequencies, and different sensitivities, so putting them in a similar enclosure to the smaller sub WILL in fact yield a different sound. I have already explained how higher SD will yield more air movement, but technically a general trend is that the FS of a certain model will go down as the size gets bigger. That means the "bigger" sub will play lower in the correct environment, but there is no reason to ever think that 10s or 12s won't stop your heart with subsonic frequencies. Need an install?

It was said that the physical properties DO change the acoustic reproduction (i.e. Q, FS, RMS, XMAX, etc..), but it's a question of power handling. The only reason people ask about break-in is for handling higher than rated power right off the line. However, should you take the time to break-in a sub, overall SQ may be slightly higher after suspension has loosened. And thanks for the questions. I'll get them in there. Need an install?
