Two 10-square-inch diaphragms can provide the same power as one 40-square-inch diaphragm.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The power capability of a diaphragm (or any speaker component) is not solely determined by its surface area. While larger diaphragms can potentially move more air and thus create more sound pressure, the relationship is not linear, and doubling the surface area does not necessarily double the power output. Additionally, power handling is also influenced by the design, material, and construction of the diaphragm, as well as the efficiency of the motor structure driving it.
