[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8676864, member: 650438"] bigger is not always louder, It really depends on the sub's parameters. I've shrunk boxes and gained all across the board in DBs while shrinking port area keeping the same tuning. if you lose cone control with too big of a box you wont get that loud. There's a limit depending on the sub. Another thing is bandwidth and peakiness, bigger boxes will make a bigger peak in frequency response, when you RTA the setup you'll see the peak flatten out drastically as you shrink size to proper airspace for the sub and you can put more power to it and it'll still be just as loud but way better bandwidth.
