afrakes Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 What's the huge deal about cone area? All I have been seeing lately is recommendations for more cone area, but if you are running the exact same amount of power to the exact same sub (an fi q 12 on a aq1200 vs an fi q 15 on an aq1200 in the same vehicle with the same electrical for example) then why is more cone area better? I could see that it would push more air an possibly get lower because of this, but does that mean that 2 10s on the same power same sub etc. will automatically get lower than the same single 12 just because of the simple fact that there is more cone area on 2 10s? I just need some clarification on this.

reg93f150 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 i think.. people say cone area is king just as a rule of thumb.. every car and stuff is different then other's, there is no real way to tell how loud and what not something's gonna get without actually trying it.. i think they all just go by rule of thumb when they say that.. but i dunno.

Kevin M Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 < likes cone area and low power. There are alot of other factors that can make you loud though. There are systems with a 1/3 the cone that kill my setup. 2005 Ford Focus zx4 AMT's and Planars 18" Infinite baffle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro7 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 2 10s has more cone area that 1 12. what are you saying? of course more cone area will create more pressure=louder and more cone area does not mean lower.

fox_racin4 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 A car thats walled with lets say, 4 18s thats doing a 55 Vs a car doing a 55 with 3 10s will sound WAY differnt. Every setup , every car meters differntly. Just because both setups hit the same numbers (while using differnt amouta of cone area) doesnt mean they sound the same. 1998 gmc extd cab 12 crossfire C710s 4 SAZ-4500s 3 Singer 400A altsbuncha mids/highs Team Asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stroupe79 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 more cone area on the same power is a more efficient way of getting louder...now it's not always a 100% but odds are it will be louder with more cone area on the same power... http://www.stevemead...cherokee-build/ 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Alpine CDE-hd148bt Alpine PKG-RSE2 PRV Audio (4) 6MB200 front/rear doors PRV Audio (4) TW350Ti dash/rear doors Kicker KX350.4 Obsidian Audio (1) 18 D4 v2 revamp (2) Stereo Integrity HT 18d2DC Audio 1.2k5.25ft^3 tuned @34hz revamp Infinite Baffle Cpillar AudioTechnix 60mil deadenerKnuKonceptz & SkyHigh wire (complete setup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
