skittlesRgood Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 You are making it sound like the material for an 18" cone is 50 lbs heavier then a 12. That's just not the case. A 3" coil weighs the same in a 10, 12,15 and 18. Sure an 18 has more air to push, but that has more to do with motor strength. It's not because a cone weighs so much more. If you are concerened that your sub can't handle any dynamic attack then maybe you have picked the wrong driver or couldn't build the right box for one. But to say a larger driver can't keep up with a smaller one playing the same musical range is just ignorant IMO. If you are really concerened about attack, then look a little deeper at your amp and it's slew rate. im talking about your comparison between a drum and an 18" subwoofer. i never once said one sized sub CANT handle transients. in fact i clearly said they CAN. If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.
