Understanding Cone area and Loudness

How to get louder with increasing the cone area and thusly moving move as air. Cone area is king. Understanding the relationship between cone area and power to achieve as desired goal.

I've been dippin and dabbin in car audio since 1989 and bro u continuously shed new light on a whole bunch of stuff that I knew about but didnt know totally about. I appreciate the knowledge. Thanks👍👍👊✌

Love the content! Finally a channel going deeper than just thowing 1000s of watts at subs and expect it to be loud. Subscribed!!

What youre saying is 100% true and i hope everybody learns from you dude! Very knowledgeable stuff here. However the key thing to also remember is in a perfect world this would all be to the T. But everybody owns different vehicles some hatch, some tiny coupes and sedans or huge suv’s. Trying to cram larger subs and larger boxes in a tiny trunk will sound terrible. There would be no room for the woofers to breathe. Some setups in trunks can actually benefit from smaller woofers. That being said you can just do a behind the seat build and forget about the trunk but for those looking for a daily build. Larger subs arent always the better option. Id say for small trunk builds. Go with a high power handling high excursion woofer in a very well built box. But if you HAVE the room to properly fit bigger, i definitely would go with that!

Thank you for the information, kicker definitely know's their subwoofer.. they know 500 watts is perfect for the 8" subwoofer.. I've always been a kicker fan.. this is good knowledge ty once again..

I'm ready to see those kickers moving.

Man I can listen to you all day. I'm from South Mississippi That's how we talk real talk

The other bit of info you left out is the excursion potential of the driver. You're pretty close with the surface area surmise, but the truth is the displacement capability of a driver, which is surface area x excursion. That's the real performance metric there. That is also the reason higher performing drivers need more amp power, to drive the woofer in further excursion. All things being equal, you are correct if a pair of drivers have the same excursion capability, then yes, the one with more surface area (cone area) will in fact play louder. Great video btw! 2 thumbs up!

Yo! I’ve played with ALOT of subs in truck applications, I’m convinced 8’s work best! I’ve settled with DD 608’s, great electrical running 2500rms solid. Now You got me thinking about going to high school days and running Kicker!

[delvinchandler]

Aw man you ready, can't wait to hear them sir. I have a sundown x12 about to put that in the midgate of my 2008 avalanche z71, but I can't wait, and im running a rockford fosgate t1500-1bdcp on it keep the great content coming. ✌🏿

[sgt.hollowpoint]

My guy!! Coming through with this video. I had 2 Kicker 12 inch CVX, wired down to 1 ohm, and had a Rockford Fosgate T1000 push those bad boys. And that amp and subs worked hella well together. Best freaking setup I've ever I had the subs in a ported box, with the port in between each sub. My lips felt like they were going to fly off when bumping some DJ Laz.

Dem joints are beautiful 🤩. Can’t wait to order my set. You stay wit the full info, keep doing ya thing ach. 🫡🔊🔊🔊🦾

[loudelvis]

When space is limited...corners are KING

[Frankiebonez]

All true as long as excursion is the same. THe new SoloX series is gonna be badass

[RecordnRtist]

You gained a subscriber. The only thing I could add is efficiency.. IF your amplifier/power source can support a lower impedance you can in theory gain more output.

Thank you for the content!

Watching your videos convinced me to switch to 8s. I have 2 12 p3s on 1200 watts rms. I love them, but they are being choked out down firing in a sealed box under a rear seat in my Sierra Denali. Im switching to 4 8s front firing on a 1500-watt rms amp.

[allenreed]

Say my brother byou are the truth sir love the way you break shut down no sugar coating on nothing keep pushing my brother wish I could speak with you personally I have a pair of db drive G2 12s in my 2012 infiniti fx35 would like to rap with you if possible ✊

[johngray]

Brother it's good to know cone erea is a must to move air I'm waiting on the solo baric L7 X's yep if they ever put them out for sale I've been waiting patiently but at the age of 55 I'll b 56 b4 I'll get a pair of them if not a pair at least one 10 will make me happy 😂

[dirtyred]

I'm wanting on those kicker solo x.

I was running 3 JL Audio 8w6 on a MTX THUNDER 2300 back in 1996...
Also had 4 Kicker 03 L7 12"s on 2 MTX 1501D.
POWER × CONE AREA =LOUD 🤷🏾‍♂️

[darrynsmith]

Bro I can't wait for the box build and how they perform
