Research is almost done subwoofer/enclosure suggestions

attack and decay get affected also, thus the reproduction of the signal becomes less accurate.
harder to start, and harder to stop.
Just because it plays the note doesn't mean the speaker is accurate.Accuracy in the heavier drivers is harder to achive. Example would be an explosion like a cannon. its a very dynamic sound. does your sub make a clap, or a grown when it plays something that dynamic.........
a BOOM!
or a bbbbbbbBBBBBBBOOOOOMMMMMmmmmmm

^ lol, no doubt. I like to use the track "Get Busy" by Mr.Lee. It has a very fast heavy bas beat that turns into mush with a poorly controlled bottom end. "Hot for Teacher" by VanHalen works too [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]
Large woofers look wicked. IMO so does a bunch of small ones

Acceleration of the moving mass is controlled by the amount of current going through the coil. The change in acceleration is controlled only by the inductance. Since the 'attack' is a change from low current to a sudden high current - this is also only affected by the inductance.

you're not even considering inertia... a body in motion tends to stay in motion.
also, the laws of thermodynamics, a body moving in a given direction tends to maintain that direction unless sufficiently acted upon by a force (paraphrase)
so the heavier the cone, the harder it is to stop it's motion and reverse it.
That is the arguement they are making, more mass = more energy required to change direction = less transient response.

it is absolutely not independant of mass... the entire premise of inertia is that change of accelleration, or change of motion is completely affected by mass.
try changing the accelleration of your car by standing in front of it and tell me if mass has anything to do with it.

Here's a good read on the issue of inductance, mass and transient response: http://www.carsound.com/cgi-bin/UBB_...=022382#000004
Real data to prove it too. Added mass and increased inductance on a real driver and measured the impulse response. Increased mass did not change the impulse response but the higher inductance driver had a slightly delayed response.
