In your own words, what is the difference between a Sub, A Woofer and A Low Frequency Transducer?

A woofer can be a low frequency transducer but a low frequency transducder doesn't have to be a woofer and a sub incorporates a low frequency transducer in it's design to produce bass frequencies!
In other words you are saying:
A Woofer can equal a Low Frequency Transducer
A Sub can equal a Low Frequency Transducer
Now doesn't that make all three the same based on your definition?

No a "sub" is a designed product which incorporates a low frequnecy transducer to achieve the lowest possible frequencies from that transducer!
But yes correct asessment of the rest!

A tranducer is the component (driver) that goes into the subwoofer (cabinet + driver combo). A driver can be many things.
A woofer is a low frequency transducer used in a low frequency loudspeaker called a sub or subwoofer.
There are differing thoughts, depending on whom you ask.
The term woofer is mostly used in consumer audio-speak in multi-driver systems. It generally refers to the driver (or transducer if you will) and/or enclosure that is used to reproduce lower frequencies. Technically, a woofer can be an 6" driver if it's the largest driver in the system.
Theoretically, a true sub is a cabinet or speaker system that can reproduce frequencies below 30Hz. The term is a shortened form of "subsonic" ~ below the range of human hearing. Most FOH systems don't go that low but you may find installed rigs with specialty resonance sub systems that do. The term is mostly used to describe speaker systems that reproduce 30Hz and above.
In my opinion, a low frequency transducer would be The Buttkicker® or a similar device that reproduces subsonic frequencies via physical movement of media other than a loudspeaker cone.

you don't want my answer, my opinion, or my expertise...
you're not in search of the truth
you're testing me!
besides, where I come from....
a woofer is a dog
a sub is a mode of underwater transportation (or a sandwich)
and a transducer is a man, dressed as a woman, who goes both ways.
