There are a minimum of 3 T/S parameters used to derive the anticipated response of a driver, and those are Qts, Vas and Fs. Driver size is not there. Additional parameters can be used to further quantify a driver's probable performance, but the actual driver size is way down on the list. An in depth discussion of how all the parameters affect performance is well beyond the capabilities of a web forum, as that information literally can fill a book- which explains why there are dozens of books written about the subject. If you plan on getting serious at all about this stuff you're going to need at least two on your shelf.

The two most often quoted items regarding driver performance are size and wattage; they are probably the two least significant indicators of potential driver performance.
