This is one of those things people say on forums all the time. An 8" speaker in a properly designed enclosure will sound just as big as a 12" in an open enclosure.
The majority of amps / cabs I have seen are open back or just have 2 slabs of wood in the back. I've never seen or heard an 8" cab in a tuned / ported cab before. If an 8" speaker can sound like it is much bigger in a properly designed cab, I would build one. You can get the theile parameters and figure out the box size and port size for specific speakers.
Has anyone seen examples of small tuned cabs sounding huge?
