Are the GTI series really just subwoofers for cars? For your purusal I did analyzer pics of a W10GTI in a 1.4 cu ft cabinet vs the 2235 in the L200 cabinet with one port blocked off.
The W10GTI cabinet was set on top of the L200. The microphone was set 6 feet back from the speaker 32" off the floor. Neither the microphone nor the analyzer are of the highest quality. This first pic shows the setup.

A close-up of the 10" cabinet (horn was removed for this test and the mid and tweeter were disconnected).
The mid and highs are the LE175/HL-91 and 075 in the L200 cabinets. Crossover was the hand made "keeper" with ~800 Hz and ~7,250 Hz cut-offs. These were used with both woofers and the crossovers were adjusted for the smoothest response for each case. No eq of any kind was used.
First, the 2235 combo as smooth as I could adjust it. Note the dip between 500/1,000 Hz. I perceive this as a muffling of the human voice and it bugs the heck out of me! Also note the lack of a 32 Hz band.
Now the W10GTI with the cabinet completely sealed. Note how much smoother it is in the 500/1,000 Hz range, but does give up some bass (as well as a whole bunch of efficiency).
But, if I remove the tweeter and just leaver the 2" hole in the cabinet, this is the result I get.
Can't get much smoother than that.
