If you are talking about a subwoofer system, that is a speaker and box which were designed to operate together, then this is basically true. But a naked subwoofer needs to be mounted in an enclosure that will allow it to produce a wide range of frequencies at the same level of loudness. There are usually good instructions on naked drivers (that's a good mind picture ;0)). But a good rule of thumb is that a smaller speaker in a smaller space will give a flatter frequency response. So you may use your front doors as very nice enclosures for a smaller woofer and have fairly good sound. This would of course involve a bit of manicuring.
