I heard it was a good idea to cut the black paper in order to get more range of movement. Is this correct?
I'm mounting this horizontally. Might that push the coil so far as to fall out?

If this was a good thing, they would be designed that way.

The cone is designed to create a difference in air pressure, certain materials are better then others. However if you want a speaker that can push a lot of air, you need to buy one that has a rubber or foam gasket around the edge, usually on midrange and woofers.

Also certain amplifiers are high current, this is really what drives the speakers. So you would need someting like this in combination with a good speaker set to really feel the thump of the bass etc (with it remaining crisp and not droning).

Furthermore.....it's not so much where the cone is attached to the upper basket, or how it's attached, that limits cone movement....it's the strenght of the fiber impregnated ring thats glued to the base of the cone and the basket(under the cone), that determines the speaker cones range of movement. Most musical instrument speakers....i.e. guitar/bass amplifiers have very strong cone to base attachments, and are attached to the upper cone via the cones material...paper/carbon/aluminum...whatever, these speakers are designed to be very loud, but not to have a lot of cone movement. Where foam surround speakers...subwoofers...ect are designed for maximum movement have very soft, flexible cone to base rings. Just my 2 cents. (I installed car audio systems for years when I was younger)

Na, these questions just happen to be in my element so to speak. When I was younger I was into audio systems quite a bit (especially while I was still studying). Built some amplifiers and speakers etc etc. Was a fun hobby, though they never did sound quite like a high-end high current Harmon Kardon. :/
