IIRC when I have tested a power to a sub w/out having it in a box the sub moves alot but does not produce much bass. It's not untill I put it in a box that the sub produced the "boomy" bass.
These subs are in a box... it is called the trunk.
There is a difference between not being in a box and being in open air vs not being in a box but still having the front and back waves from the speaker separated from each other. Not having the separation is what results in the big movement/no sound you referred to because the front and back waves cancel each other out.
All that matters is that the trunk is sealed off from the interior, and more importantly that the speaker is designed to work in a really big box or infinate baffle (IB) arrangement like this.
