No Replacement for Displacement

More cone area will get louder ... but it all depends on the box.

build a crappy box and it dont matter what size sub you have.

A lot of it is in the box but smaller subs can hit "faster" due to less cone/coil weight. It also takes more excursion for them to excite the same volume of air as a larger diaphram though.

Do you want it fast and hard (shakes your voice box) or low and hard (sucks the air out of your lungs)? I much prefer low since you are less likely to hear "voices" from the subs then.

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through.
