How is the size of a speaker related to its sound quality?
There is no fixed relationship between size and sound quality per se. As a general rule a large speaker with multiple drivers should be able to produce higher sound output, especially in the bass frequencies. However, keep in mind the need for ten times the power output for an apparent doubling of volume and youll quickly see that we need much bigger capacity to make a dramatic difference. There are so many other factors affecting even the true power output of a given driver, that it is impossible to predict even this from size alone. There are some correlations between size and functioning of a speaker. Although its counterintuitive, a small speaker with extended bass response will generally need more power than a larger one. The small speaker will also normally have lower maximum bass output level than a large one. It is more difficult to prevent the enclosure of a large speaker from vibrating and interfering with the sound from the drivers – a small speaker, properly built, has an a
