Driver Size and Low Frequency Reproduction?

[NcHalfrican]

I always used to hear that larger subwoofers would 'go lower' than like a 10". The only logic I can find behind this is that the added cone area would allow the 15 to produce more SPL than a 10...

at lower frequencies on the same power. Is there more to it? This is all excluding enclosure variables ofcourse.

Say you have a type R 10,12,15

for the most part they will play the same notes, jut the larger cone will make it louder, giving you the illusion that its playing notes that the smaller woofer is not

Yeah, that's what I thought but was having a hard time explaining that, haha. I just didn't know if there were some wierd physics that came into play as well.

Thanks, by the way.
