whats "it". you're still not providing a link. but yeah, 4" coils have better heat dissipation because of more surface area.

it's like I said above "THERMAL HANDLING". Meaning it can take dissipate heat more quickly than a 3in coil, or 2.5in coil. The bigger the coil, the more surface area of coil therefore there is more to heat up so it takes longer. In short, 4in coil wont get as hot as fast as a 3in coil.

SPL race? you mean bass race? It depends.

It doesn't necessarily get more air flow, but does "touch" more air in the since it has a bigger surface area, which dissipates heat better. :trippy:
