Small Reality dose :-)
Enclosures only affect frequencies below 200hz.
Tuning / appropriate enclosure sizes affect low frequencies.
The better tailored the design, the deeper one can obtain palpable results. Even roughly approximate 'boxes' will do surprisingly well... likely hitting FS (at ~46 hz).
Tannoy MG 12's go pretty darn deep.. even when in a suitably sized cardboard box.
Yes I've tried it.. on a whim.
That said: Those Do deserve a bespoke box.
Just how crappy Are those salvaged boxes.. where one varies from the other ??
Buy / build appropriate boxes.. or if it's problematic, sell the drivers on :-) paraphrasing Ettore Bugatti: when a customer complained that his car wouldn't start after spending the night outdoors.
