Cone Area confusion..

So I understand what cone area is.. just a little confused as to what it does. EX: Level 4 12 and a level 4 15, one will push more air, (the 15) while the 12.. does? With the 15 I should feel it more but what should happen with the 12.. if that makes any sense.. trying to basicly figure out. The difference, other than ones bigger and has more cone area. Thanks.

Just because its bigger doesn't necessarily mean it will be louder. More air moving, blurred vision, twitchy nose are some things you can feel.

And the fact more than one person agrees does not make it a circle jerk, it makes it a bukkake scene and you're in the middle ;)

Cone area is only one factor. Box design is a much larger factor in loudness and "FEEL".

If you have a perfect box for both woofers, and the same power. You will most likely not hear or feel any difference.

Just because it is a 15, does not mean that it will feel any different than a 12.

A 12 doing 145 dB at 40hz will have the same feeling as a 15 doing 145 dB at 40hz. And both are perfectly capable of doing that SPL.
