    Abstract: Techniques performed by a data processing system for operating a speaker disposed within a sealed enclosure herein include obtaining a first input signal to be output by the speaker; determining a first volume level associated with the first input signal; selecting a first Linkwitz Transform and a first Multiband Compressor (MBDRC) from volume- dependent configuration data based on the first volume level; generating a first intermediate signal by applying the first Linkwitz Transform to the first input signal to increase a low- frequency response of the speaker; generating a first output signal by applying the first MBDRC to the first intermediate signal by compressing the at least a portion of the first intermediate signal; and driving the speaker to produce first audio output using the first output signal.
