The current running through the voice coil makes it an electro magnet. The frequency of a sound wave wanted to be produced is determined by the frequency of the current running through the voice coils, which determines how fast it switches between positive and negative polarity. The when the voice coil switches one way, it is attracted to the magnet, when it's the opposite polarity, it's repelled, and want's to move out.

BL (motor strength) is more important. There are different magnet materials used now and size isn't a big factor. It is possible to have too much motor power, and resulting in overdamping the driver.
Joe Smoe Gold MemberUsername: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 2299Registered: Aug-04Posted on Wednesday, May 11, 2005 - 02:36 GMT Yes, materials can be a big factor actually. You'd be suprised at the strength of a teeny pice of magnet X, compared to a big chunk of magnet Y. Jon, I get so sick of seeing people think certain subs are gonna be uber loud because they have a 150, 200 oz magnet. Some companies, *cough, Audiobahn, love to advertise oversized magnets on their subs, and draw people with little knowledge into them.

Jonathan Gold MemberUsername: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 3899Registered: May-04Posted on Wednesday, May 11, 2005 - 03:02 GMT Look at speakers like the Morel Hybrids and DLS loudspeakers. They're integrating ferrite and neodymium magnets so that they can use a smaller magnet, making installs MUCH easier in today's smaller cars due to less mounting depth. It's providing a BL of 7+ on these speakers, which is pretty high for a 6.5" driver. The Adire Audio Shiva uses a small magnet.
