How about your take on using different sized woofers for SQ?

Me? It would depend completely on the frequency band being reproduced. Up to around 80 or 100Hz, one woofer (of any of those sizes) would do just fine. As far as multiple drivers, of different sizes? Nothing to be gained OR lost by doing so. It is a push. Additional surface area will help with sheer output, but a properly designed woofer will go EASILY to 100Hz or so.

100Hz wavelength is SOOOO long, relative to the diameter of even a 12 inch woofer, that it won't matter one iota if you used an 8, a 10, and a 12 in a single array.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Oh..was that what the post was about?? lol

All soap boxing aside....For all out sq.I find 10'' high quality subs to be a great compromise between solid tight sound reproduction and low end output..buts thats just me.
