The Parthenon has a 24" sqaure diaphragm - which has equivelent surface area to >27" dia. (121 dB SPL output at 20 Hz).
And our own DIY Parthenon thread suggests a potential 34" or dual 27" diaphragm to achieve 125 dB @ 20 Hz @ 1 meter.

Audiobahn 34"
The above poster is referring to a 34" Audiobahn sub. It is a car sub and handles 5000W. I always wanted to build a box for it and call it a coffee table for my room. Here is a link where you can buy one:

There was, once upon a time, a 36" driver. EV or JBL, as I recall.
If it's cabinet size you're looking for, that's a whole 'nother ball of wax. People have been building cabinets into houses for decades, either under the floor or in the walls. Once in a blue moon, you'll find something built into the ceiling.
That said, any self-respecting planar or electrostatic driver can trounce such a wimpy cone if all you're looking for is driver surface area...and play with far, far lower distortion, too.
Yes (someone's bound to complain--they always do), the excursion will be less for the planar/electrostat, but that can be offset by making the driver even larger.
