Everyone knows that a larger woofer is capable of playing deeper, generally speaking. But what about cabinet volume?
So for instance, let's say I have two different simple, 2-way, vented TM designs. They both use a 7" woofer, but one is ideal for a cabinet volume of .75 cu ft, and the other is ideal for a cabinet volume of 1.5 cu ft.
Generally speaking, how would you expect them to differ in bass performance? The obvious answer is that the larger one plays deeper, and sounds bigger, but I'm not sure if this is actually true, or if there are so many exceptions that it doesn't quite achieve "rule of thumb" status.
And are there any inherent disadvantages to the larger cabinet? (besides WAF and floor space concerns)
