would a mono boombox using a GRS 12SW-HE in a cap assisted box lack punch vs 12PT?

I think it might be beaten badly by a 25.5 liter GRS 12PT with 300uF although if the music has bass drops which hit 40 or down to around 30Hz and the box is played indoors that the 22 liter box illustrated in this comparison might win.

I wonder if a crazy FAST with 12SW-HE and say 3FE25 would work decently ? A switch for 3FE25 could turn it off when wanting to use the box for sub only duty.g

I could see 12SW-He working in a 2.1 when driven by a TPA3255 and associated switching supply - - not sure how 3255 do with a 24v tool battery - - ?

FWIW I think a JBL GX1200 4 ohm single coil woofer in 25.5 liters is more sensitive and offers a sensible 40Hz bottom

Here's a 2 volt 2 pi sim with 850uF plus it vs GRS 12SW-HE
