This, and an evenbigger problem is that many companies are using those fat surrounds on drivers that simply aren't needed. Thus, you end up with a low Xmax driver to begin with, then you take up much of the Sd via that big old "phat" surround. But hey, it looks kewl and regardless of what the eduactaed folks think, the buying masses base most of their decisions on looks it seems.
