That's true but it's the surround that restricts the movement. The surround will achieve...what I suppose would be the ideal point of flexibility and stay there for a LONG TIME until it fatigues and tears. Happened to me with my 80's vintage Large Advents with FOAM woofer surrounds. The foam tore after ten years. I bought new woofers and after another ten years the foam started to separate from the cones. I repaired them with rubber cement and dumped them May, 2004.
