does size matters when it comes to subwoofer?

[flat_tyre]

is there much difference between 6 inches subwoofer and 8 inches? single and double coil?

 

[Zenn]

the bigger the sub, the better its ability to play lower frequencies

double voice coil allows it to be fed double the power from the amp, by wiring in series

doubt u can find dvc 6 inch speakers, even 8 inch also not many, most will be svc only.

 

[bafukie]

i dun think u can classify 6 inch as 'subwoofer'.. more like midbass

 

[mnkh0027]

6" are normally woofers, but there are also sub variants i.e from focal or tymphany LAT

to answer ur question, it depends on the quality of the subs you are comparing but basically if you are talking abt the same make, bigger do give you better performance if you can afford to build the right enclosure (size and designs etc.) for it. i hope i make sense.

10 inch n 12 inch characteristic is different, depend on what u want from your sub, i like 10 inch sub more becos it move faster compare 12 inch,but 12 inch will give you more in other areas.
