Howard, There are a couple of ways that companies are getting more out of small subwoofers. Probably the biggest thing is that they can partly make up for the lack of efficiency of smaller cones and cabinets by electronically equalizing the signal and by including higher power internal power amplification. Also, sometimes speaker cones are used that can move further than they used to. This means they can be driven harder. Some of the smaller subwoofers really do an amazing job. I have heard a couple, though, that do well at deep base but sometimes tend to "double", where low bass notes have their harmonics produced more than on the larger subwoofers. Therefore, one needs to listen carefully to be sure you are getting what you want.

I've seen Altec Lansing and Logitek three-ways that really boom out that sub-woofing sound. I never took one apart so I don't have any idea what's in there that does that?
