Simplistically speaking, wouldn't a voice coil with a lower Re generate less heat and thus be able to handle more power thermally?
I realize decreasing Re involves different wire (Al or Cu), different length of wire, and also different guages, but negating all that, if we could somehow magically keep the wire the same, but just increase/decrease the resistance, the one with lower resistance should be able to handle more power correct?
If it is correct, why would companies still create woofers with 8ohm VCs? Money?
