Nightshade Posted September 7, 2008 Report Posted September 7, 2008 Thanks, I know what displacement is I was referring to the output of the subwoofer having something to do with the displacement. For example, the heavier the magnet is the more output it would potentially have? Like the DC Sound Lab lvl4 12" I heard has a displacement of .16, and the AQHDC312 is .4. Is this saying that the AQ will most likely have the potential of having the output? That's not always gonna be true. Just because a sub takes up more room inside a box because it has a larger motor and basket doesn't meant that it will potentially have more output.

E a r t h Posted September 7, 2008 Report Posted September 7, 2008 The spec you're refering to is cone area in square inches combined with linear x-max to give a value of air the woofer can move. Quote

I'm not sure what you mean here. Can you please explain what spec this is you're referring to?

Torres Posted September 7, 2008 Report Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) the size of the magnet does not necessarily mean it'll be louder. it's all in the quality. many other things also play a role. what he means by cone area and xmax is typically the more cone area you have on a speaker, the more air it will move. the more air you move, generally the louder you'll be. xmax is how far the cone can move. the higher the xmax (usually rated in millimeters) the more air it will move, meaning generally the louder you'll be Edited September 7, 2008 by ExpoSport Quote
brendyn74 Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Posted September 7, 2008 oooh ok. Thanks for the clarification. what other factors should we all look at to determine if a sub will have a high output? Quote
Torres Posted September 7, 2008 Report Posted September 7, 2008 RMS, not peak power, and efficiency are also good Quote
brendyn74 Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Posted September 7, 2008 the only thing i know about efficiency is the higher it is the lesser amount of power you need to, uh, power it? Quote
Torres Posted September 7, 2008 Report Posted September 7, 2008 basically. the lower it is, the more power you need to put to it to get the full potential out of it Quote
