That's the surface area of a 22-inch woofer in case you didn't calculate that. |

It's easier to control smaller drivers. There are 2000 Watt mono amplifiers in each subwoofer cabinets... |

I don't see why it's funny. I guess I'm not humorous 
333 1/3 watt a driver should mean (at the average sensitivity of a 9-inch woofer) a max output of: 120dB give or take |

Yeah that's true...^^^
For
$2,000 could get you 6 10" drivers of that quality... and then $800 for the stereo amp that could power it with 2500w each channel...that's around $2500-3000 for each sub... and then similar quality in the mains may make a system cost (including crossovers etc.) of around $10k...but $250k? Outrageous, but fun. |
