A heatsink doesn't work all that well when the mode of coupling it with the heatsource is convection. The very air that separates the driver from the heatsink is, after all, an insulating medium. Having the plate very close to the frame helps, but that also may result in a smaller chamber that in itself contributes to heat build up. Go to PSW and AudioRoundTable and check out the threads by Wayne Parham re: his design for a heatsink that is coupled to the driver frame.
