Hey.
I currently have an active 40w RMS subwoofer with a 6.5" driver. When i go past half volume the driver excursion is over the limit and looks very unstable, which i believe is why it's distorting already at half the volume. I'm thinking it's the driver not being able to push more rather than the amp being limited. Could this be true?
Another question. Would it work by installing an 8" driver in the same enclosure, and possibly being able to push more if the amp is not the limiting factor. Also, how would that sound if the box is most likely designed for a 6.5" driver? Could it sound better or is it a total no-no? Obviously depending on the speaker specifications and quality.
