message: I don't think this should go to loudspeaker.  That entry is already very large and focuses, correctly, on the completed unit.  This is a separate item in my mind.  Pjay 22:10, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't think the freq-range figures are quite right. Many small hi-fi woofers run up to 2 or 3 khz, not "a few hundred" Hz. Some large PA or high-effiency home woofers run up suprisingly high. The article should be changed to reflect that some woofers (in 2-ways mostly but also many 3-ways) cover most of the midrange.
That diagram isn't entirely related to woofers and might confuse some people.
The freq-response section defines "frequency" but nothing about FR.
I could touch some things up but not now. --Howdybob 13:32, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Pjay, this image is very misleading and incomplete. It doesn't talk about beaminess at the higher end of each frequency range, doesn't talk about the HUGE importance of cabinet design relative to woofer size and doesn't mention 15", 18" or 21" woofers. Also, energy from the human voice doesn't cease above 5k; harmonics up there are very strong. I'd like to see this image taken out of the Woofer page. Binksternet 19:46, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I put a citation needed tag on the phrase that says a multiple of four-inch drivers can't get low in frequency. It's my experience that the enclosure is a major factor in low frequency extension and that the most important thing is to have enough total area in your drivers. Multiple four inch drivers in quantity could be made to have a lot of area. Binksternet (talk) 01:32, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Lots of drivers handling the same signal introduce issues of mutual interference, even if they together have sufficient area to move air at low frequencies. I think what wa smeant here was something about the trend in 2-way speakers to use a 4-6" mid-woofer as the lf driver. I think we can reword to increase clarity. ww (talk) 07:37, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Mutual interference issues can be overcome by novel enclosure design. A low-distortion subwoofer cabinet could be designed that used a mass of 4" drivers; it's just not normally done. I don't think the phrase is worthy of inclusion here. Binksternet (talk) 17:28, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Four-inch driver too small says who?

message: I'm taking out the parenthetic statement that horn and transmission line enclosure designers don't work with filter theory. I personally know horn-enclosure designers whose products have passive or active filtering included. Binksternet (talk) 21:53, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I thouhgt the passage referred to T/S filter theory application, not crossovers. Maybe it can be reworded to make this more clear? Comments? ww (talk) 00:10, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

message: This article doesn't really talk about "woofer surrounds" so i thought i'd throw in a bit. woofer surrounds are the small, usually foam rings that connect the cone to the cabinet. they're necessary for a woofer to work properly, because they limit the vibrations, keeping the cone from moving to much. nowadays they are usually made out of some sort of industrial foam, and they tend to rot if kept in storage, or in sub-optimal conditions. you;ll be able to tell if they're rotting because whenever you get a bass beat your speakers will waffle terribly. its totally fixable though, just buy a repair kit.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.6.88.225 (talk) 14:13, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Please add some info on how the standard sizes like 8" 10" 12" 15" are measured.  Seems to be approximately the outer frame diameter?  http://www.jlaudio.com/header/Support/Tutorials/Which+Speaker+Size+is+Right+for+your+Boat%3F/Which+Speaker+Size+is+Right+for+your+Boat%3F/483328  http://www.jlaudio.com/c2-650-car-audio-c2-speaker-systems-99617#  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.167.68.30 (talk) 18:48, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
