Thanks
As mentioned above, there will be several factors involved other than the diameter of the woofer. It will be the entire design of the speaker system that will determine whether it will handle the lower bass notes of your guitar.

For example, my Daedalus W803 speakers are + - 2 db from 50HZ to 20k HZ. They handle dropped C tunings very well indeed (C = 62Hz). They have an 8" woofer. My Ultrasound 50E monitor, also with an 8" woofer, does not handle those lower bass notes as well.
