Can a speaker box be too small?
Remember, there is such a thing as too big. As the size of the enclosure increases, the mechanical limits of the woofer will be easier to reach. If the box is too small (by a reasonable amount) add power. If the port becomes too small, it may result in port noise, or allow the woofer to simply unload.
Does box size affect bass?

How do I calculate speaker box volume and port size?
Calculating box volume for a sealed box requires Vas, Fs, & Qts. We will use the standard .707 value for Qtc for a smooth roll-off at the low end. Calculating box volume and port size for a ported enclosure requires Vas, Fs, Qts, and the cone diameter. To calculate the speaker box volume, we will use the Speaker Box Designer .
Why are big speakers louder than small speakers?
That’s because they are. They produce a clearer, stronger, and yes, louder, sound than small speakers are capable of. Here’s how. Small speakers are not able to produce a clear sound in all situations simply due to their size. It limits them in terms of the power they can produce.
What makes a speaker sound good?
The design of the speaker allows for sound that fills the room, loud bass, and clear sound at both high and low volumes. The speaker is bi-amped, which opens up the frequency range and gives it more power in mid-range sounds. The drivers play a part in this: each driver captures its own distinct portion of mid- and low-range sounds.
