If the volume of a speaker is a function of the length of the voice-coil wire, average diameter of the coil, and strength of the magnet, would attaching another magnet to the existing assembly increase the volume output of the unit. That is, would it do so without changing the coil at all.
If the answer is yes, would the increase be a linear ratio of the strength of the two magnets, or would it be affected by the coil. Further, would this negatively affect the performance in any way, or modify the frequency response?
Again, assuming a "yes" would a misalignment (the additional magnet not being in the dead-center) affect the performance of the speaker (performance being defined in any metric), and if so, how much of a misalignment would matter.
The reason for asking is that I have some speakers that have a good frequency response arc, but only reach a moderate volume.
