After going back to the stock H/K sub it is clear that the stock speaker goes lower but overall is not as responsive (sounds muddy).
This is an example of the limitations of making definitive conclusions from modeling frequency response graphs alone. T/S parameters only tell part of the story. If it were that easy there would be no need for real-world testing. Moral of the story is trust your ears above all else. There is no substitute for a real-world experience.
