To the pro audio guys
given that you use a subwoofer crossed at 80hz; will a 12 play any louder than a 8?
The way I see it, spl is all about air movement. If you cross the signal at 80hz, the tweeter of a 12’’ top speaker should fail way before the woofer since the cone of the woofer wont move much if crossed at 80hz, the woofer wont overheat either since the power demand above 80hz is small relative to below 80hz.
This brings me to 8’’ top speakers. If their tweeter is equal to a 12’’, and the top speaker is crossed at 80hz, i think they should be able to keep up, what do you guys think? Are 12’’ with subwoofer waste of space, money and weight?
