Jeff that's true, however if using the TSU decoders you can boost the bass. If you push the bass reflex too hard (too loud) they'll distort. The HB with factory enclosures, on the other hand because of the big magnet will handle the boosted bass and the higher volume output. On our installs in HO on the narrow hoods (GP's and SD's etc) the bass reflex is the way to go. On F units in HO or larger scales the HB shows us better sound with the bass boosted. On S and O scales you can get the bigger HB speakers like the 1.22 , 1.57, 1.77 , and 2.07 HB speakers can be used with stock enclosures with very good results. I'll try to post a video of a HO F unit with a HB speaker with factory enclosure and a TSU with the bass boosted all the way down to 60 hz.

Another words they are sealed and ported to allow just enough air to get to the back of the speaker. The high bass speakers need to have an enclosure made for them to get good sound. The high bass speakers have a lower frequency response around 170 hz. Mostly it depends on your space and application. Let me know if you have any additional questions.
