A 5" driver is really has 4" cone, a 10" driver has an 8" cone, a 12" driver is really a 10" cone.2 squared x 4 = 16, 4 squared = 16, so 4x5" = 1x10".
It's got to be bigger drivers than that. Who sells a 5" subwoofer? You'd need at least 4 8" drivers to be worth much, but 10" or 12" makes more sense because you're going to get a lot of cancellation from the "swarm" approach. You could do a "swarm" with NHT's modular U2 setup with 4x 12" for $2500.
The ideal setup would be 8 woofers, each in a corner, floor *and* ceiling. That would be cool.
