#1 Is there a correlation between a woofers x-max rating and
"tight bass" ? if you know what I mean (loose suspension and tight
suspension). Do "tight coned" woofers sound better than "subwoofers",
or is this just a myth?

#2 Is there a correlation between a woofers voice coil diameter and
"tight bass" and/or sound quality assuming similar woofers?
or is the voice coil just a function of power handling,
not sound quality ? ie, if JBL made a woofer with a 2" voice
coil would it sound as good/bad as the same one using a a 4" dia
voice coil ?

#3 What factors do you look at when trying to find a woofer
with a strong motor ?
