    I don't.

    As long as you abide by physics you can make any speaker sound the way you want. 12's are no different than 8's except for size. Size has nothing to do with whether it should be sealed, bandpassed, ported, horn'ed...whatever. Thiele-small specifications help you consider "best" application for a speaker.
    11 is louder than 10!
