Ya but the point being that you dont get enough increase in volume with a box... or the extra volume with exposed cones outweighs the loss from the increased temps and provides bigger gains versus less volume lower temp set ups.

Best case scenario you want no limit on volume with absolute low temps, but its a trade off and according to the data I had seen years ago it looked like the increase in temps wasnt holding back the gains. The bottleneck was the volume. Not saying Im right, just saying what I read (specifically related to the N54).
