yooper has a point, which boils down to the old addage that a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link.
Any failing in the layout of a system will result in a dominoe effect of failures. It's not really wise to ignore any aspect of designing a good audio system. It's a lot more complex to get a good system for either SQ or SPL than just slapping amps and speakers into a car and cranking the volume up.

I've seen people try to argue that the enclosure is 90% of a subwoofer setup, and the subs themselves are only 10% of the equation. I think it's more like 50/50, but in any event, it's all important to some extent... enclosure design, placement, cabin gain, driver efficiency and BL, applied power, etc.
