The problem is that a smaller sub which is still big enough for your room is going to draw almost the same power as the 350, ie probably not enough difference to be an issue. These subs are only drawing a few hundred watts at peak (and you probably aren't reaching peak), ie I don't think raw power draw is a factor.

A smaller woofer and smaller box is normally going to need more power to make the same SPL as you get with a bigger woofer.
