That protects the driver, and it means low frequency output leans on cabin gain rather than on raw cone travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFiring down into the floor, the sealed rolloff meets rising cabin gain below 60 Hz and in-car response extends well below the anechoic figure. In a truck cab, which is where a 3 inch deep driver is meant to live, the result is tight and controlled rather than thin. With 11mm of Xmax and 600 watts per driver on tap, there is headroom behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProdigy publishes a sealed range of 0.75 to 1.0 cubic feet, so this sits well under their figure. Their number reads like a target for prefab truck enclosures where cabin gain does most of the work.
