At what point does it cease becoming a subwoofer and become a woofer?

100Hz.

My woofers go down to 18Hz....


Most woofers go down to 18Hz. Now how much SPL that can pump out at that
frequency is another matter entirely! :-)
That aside, MANY woofers can put out a higher SPL at 30Hz than many *so
called* sub woofers. Current terminology is to call ANY woofer in a
separate single box, a sub woofer. I've seen 3 inch "sub woofers" that
can't manage 100Hz at any normal SPL let alone real bass! :-(


Well yeah, I'd imagine a tweeter could flap 18x a second. The question is whether it's moving enough air to be of any use!

Of course it isn't, that's not the point! :-)
