Hi,
I own the FE103En in a bookshelf speaker (the Fostex-branded horn ones), and received the FE126NV for use in the larger small floor-standing back horn kit.
The voice coils are the same diameter, only 1/2" size difference between them, but the larger driver is rated at 3x the power handling.
What attributes of the larger driver allow this? I know 3x the power is not 3x the sound, just asking about what allows it mechanically to handle that additional power. For one, I think the magnet structure is significantly larger. I don't see excursion parameters for both to compare.
Just curious!
Thanks!

Is the diameter of the coil winding wire the same diameter? Twice the diameter, 4 times the cross sectional area, 4 times the capacity.
