** Such a low value for the input L means you are effectively simulating a
speaker that has a copper cap ( inductance damper) on the pole piece - ie
as is commonly used for wide range or twin cone speakers.

The bass resonance is at 44 Hz but the peak current before saturation is
only 2 amps for the 159ZC, so power input is a bit limited.
