TLEJ Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 So I'm pretty sure circles better in most cases, just because more people have it here? What are the pros of the square woofer.. Just so you can fit more in a single spot? How? Wouldn't circle subs take up just as much room.. What's the deall hurr.

Tek Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 a square has more cone area than a circle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ji553r Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 i think they have limited excursion because the have corners. with circles there is no beginning and no end like a circle of love *chinese man oice* Quote I don't fuck around.

raytard Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 not everyone uses squares for the same reason we dont all live off caviar and wine, better on paper doesnt mean better. Yes, increased cone area leads to an increase in sensitivity (because more air is being moved), but that same increase can come from a more powerful motor on a round sub, or even just a tighter gap or different top plate, the cone difference is nearly negligible when the whole speaker is considered. Also, corners have never worked so well, rounds have a nice smooth contour allowing better strength and linearity.

TeamHT Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 a square sub makes a square sound wave and we all know a square sound wave is clipping. The thing people forget is, a square sub creates square sound waves, making it easier to exit a squared port. Round subs do best with round ports.

Sanitarium Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 square subs don't work so well because they still use round voice coils and motors. Everyone knows you can't fit a square peg through a round hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
