[QUOTE="FJF, post: 5988501, member: 601907"] I don't think it's the space as much as the intent. A sensitive driver in a small box won't necessarily generate less amplitude, and at the same time it won't extend as far down, either. Power won't fix that factor, but does it really need fixing? Let me pose a practical example. I run a very sensitive driver in a fairly small ported enclosure. The box is tuned relatively high, yet the in-cabin F3 is a bit lower than 25Hz. I cut it off before that, but I think you see my point. The extension is there. In my case, it's useless due to drivetrain/road noise, but that doesn't deminish the scope of the effect. As the sub is very sensitive, it doesn't require a big amp, it runs at a gentle 4 Ohms with no need for electrical upgrades, and it sounds better than any other (car) sub I've auditioned.
