Go measure it with a cheap radio shack meter at low volumes.

First take the sub and put it in the car and play test tones and record the dB per frequency. Then take the sub/enclosure out of the car and place it somewhere where it cannot echo (park in a field or the middle of your yard). Then put the meter down about 3-4 feet away from the sub. Then test it using the same frequencies at the same volume level. Subtract the two numbers to see your rise in cabin gain and about where it starts.

When I did it in my 240, it turned out like this:

The actual gain in dB per frequency can be seen in this graph:
