Coil Size Matters Smaller coils can be a little more resonant, but larger coils tend to have better control. Some speakers have to have larger coils. Subwoofers like the MTX 12” 150-Watt Vented Powered Subwoofer need a larger magnetic gap, so they have bigger coils and commensurately bigger heat and power.

How much power can a 2 inch voice coil handle?

By way of an example, looking through a popular subwoofer manufacturer's product range, we see that their subwoofers with a 2-inch diameter voice coil are rated for 250 watts; stepping up to a 2.5-inch diameter coil increases the power rating to 500 watts.

What is voice coil size?

Voice coil diameters on guitar speakers are typically 1”, 1.25”, 1.5”, 1.75” or 2”. In order to find the diameter of the voice coil, measure at the cone's apex (see figure 1). Take a string and wrap it tightly around the apex just above the spider to find the circumference.

What does more coils do to the speaker sound?

And it's the extraordinary acceleration.

Does the magnet size matter on a subwoofer?

Bigger magnets are required for bigger speakers, but they do not necessarily make them “better.” Larger magnets (and stronger audio signals/voltages) are necessary to move large speaker cones and subwoofers. However, the overall quality of a loudspeaker depends on more than the size of its magnets.

What is a good RMS for speakers?

RMS ratings realistically measure how much power the speaker can handle on a continuous basis, not just for a short period of time. A speaker rated at "up to 50 watts RMS" will make a better match for your low-powered stereo than another speaker rated "10-80 watts RMS."

Should speaker wattage be higher than amp?

As a very vague rule of thumb, we normally recommend around twice as much amplifier power as speaker's power rating. For example, if a speaker is rated at 200 watts, we'd use a 400 watt amp. Again, the idea is to have enough clean power to handle whatever you throw at the amp without clipping.

Is a larger voice coil better?

A larger voice coil will provide you with an overall stronger motor/cone assembly. There will be more surface are to glue the cone & spider & former together. A larger voice coil will also help in keeping hte voice coil cool. It will dissipate heat better.

What is better single or dual voice coil subwoofer?

The voice coil differences have no direct effect on the subwoofer performance, frequency response, or power rating. A dual voice coil sub does not directly perform better than the same sub with a single voice coil.
