Either way, there is more to it than just cone area, the woofer(s) should be designed for the particular box volume you are using.

I wrote it like that for simplicity's sake. I didn't want to make a book on sound systems here. The info is already out there, just gotta google it.
Also, we're not even talking about wattage. If we start talking about watts, I know many subs that can defy what I posted. With that said, I agree with you, except usually the box is usually designed specifically for the sub. That's the best way to get the max SPL and/or SQ out of a sub. I never seen someone shop around for a sub that fits "x" type of box.
