Speaker response is not a vertical drop to zero output. There is a roll off, so as long as the speaker can produce actual output in the 20's it is possible to reinforce those frequencies with more panel area.

This is why they are using an inline coil to limit the bass panel's upper frequency response. This prevents reinforcement of the mid-bass while raising very low frequency response.
