because they are big and also because they are ran by a lot of power; they can "vibrate" quickly.i think i get it,,
but i still dont get how subs can push so much air lol
oh he's asking how they can get the power to push so much air?I think Martix_agent as he asked about how subs can push so much air..it does not mean that they are big ..it depends upon the terminology the are using..it also depends upon the capacity to manage the air from the speaker to get out of the speaker ..so it puches so much air..

He posts numerous threads which dont ask a question, and he doesnt clarify what he means. mainly because he is most likely a bot.what for?
Sound waves are generated, not reflectedActually, the speaker has a long piece of wire wrapped around a piece of wax paper called a voice coil, both ends of the wire connect to tinsel leads which connect to the +/- speaker cable and to an amplifier which send + and - electrons pulsing through those wires, and since there's a magnet wrapped around the diaphragm of the speaker, those + and - electrons combined with that magnet push and pull the speaker from it's idle position, causing sound waves to bounce off of the front and rear of the cone.
Actually, the hz dictates the freqeuncy in which the driver (sub woofer) oscillates. The watts dictates how far the driver oscillates.The amount of wattage that runs to the speaker is what causes the speaker to move so rapidly, at least up until the point of distortion, which is when the speaker has reached it's limit, or max/x (maximum excursion). Once it gets to that point, the excess wattage is turned into heat, which heats up the voice coil which can damage the speaker.
The amount of wattage it can handle doesnt mean how much air it moves; it means exactly what it says, how many watts it can handle. A lot of times a driver can say "1200w" but yet a "900w" one can outperform it. This is because of the diameter of the driver.If you have two speakers, one at 300w RMS and one at 600w RMS.. both matched to an amplifier with equal ratings, the 600w RMS speaker will generally move more air, depending on the size of the cone and the quality of the box it's in.
In short; Electrons 'take turns' passing down the + and - cables into the voice coil which causes the cone to move rapidly because of the magnet that surrounds it, which causes air to move, (which creates sound waves that bounce off of your ear drums to create 'noise'.)
