I agree with Ken. It's not the size of an individual driver that matters. There are two things to take in to account: driver area, and driver excursion. While it is true that an 8" driver will probably have more linear travel than a 6" driver, a pair of 6" drivers will outperform a single 8" driver. From a performance standpoint, it is almost always better to use an array of drivers instead of a single one where bass is concerned.
One of the great benefits of splitting your surface area across multiple identical drivers is that you will have tighter bass. Smaller drivers are more controlled than larger drivers. And the more drivers you have, the less you'll have to push each individual one to achieve the same decibel level.
