What is the HUGE difference in the box?

Alright, I saw this one guy who had an Alpine Type R subwoofer in his trunk. It was in a small/normal sized ported box. It hit pretty good and rattled the car slightly.

However, I saw another car with the same subwoofer and amp, but a huge ported box (the box just for this one sub took up the entire trunk). It hit soooo much harder than the same woofer in the smaller box. The whole car was flexing and the mirrors were about to fall off.

Is it true that the bigger a ported box, the harder a sub will hit?

what i have learned is that the smaller the box is the more accurate the bass hits but the bigger the box is means it should hit harder
 
ported boxes allow more time for the note to develop because it comes out of the port and because the subs have to attempt to pressurize all the air in the car rather than in a sealed box where it pressurizes the air in the box which is alot less and alot quicker but not as much air to develop the note.

ported are loud sloppy and large boxes good for rap hip hop and heavy bass

sealed are tight punchy bass thats all around good for all music
