[QUOTE="bbeljefe, post: 8165904, member: 655960"] Simply stated, smaller boxes allow for higher power handling while larger boxes allow for lower bass. Therefore, if a manufacturer has a subwoofer with high compliance (loose suspension) they will recommend a smaller enclosure that will compensate for that lack of suspension. And for a woofer with low compliance the manufacturer will recommend a large enclosure to take advantage of the lower extension provided by large boxes. And, since everything in audio (especially car audio) is a trade off, manufacturers have to design some woofers for small boxes because some people care more about cargo space than bass and they have to design some woofers for larger boxes because some of us prefer quality sound to extra cargo space. Of course, ultimately, they're trying to design speakers that work as well in small boxes as they would in larger ones, so they can reach a greater share of the market with fewer products. [/QUOTE]
