I wonder how the larger surface area of a large woofer factors into the acceleration factor. A large driver with twice the surface area of a smaller one only needs half the movement of the smaller one to move the same amount of air. That has to factor into the equation. I think you'd need to understand the relationships between size, extension, distortion, etc. to be able to have a meaningful opinion on this. Big drivers are definitely better for deep bass. You'd need 9 6" drivers to be the equivalent of my 18" sub and in order to have a comparable excursion the surround would need to have as much surface area as the cone. That would have to contribute to distortion.
Two medium size woofers Vs One big size woofer
Hi,
Wondering what are your thoughts on the differences between a full range 3-way speaker with -let's say- two 5" woofers versus a 3-way with just one single 10" woofer? Which one would provide better bass response and more accurate bass?
*Assuming both are the same make, same quality drivers and cone materials.
