Nice I like that look. How do you know what the best frequency is?

This is a general rule of thumb but 30 and under is for sq, 31-38 is Sql, and anything above 38 is SPL. Keep in mind pure SPL will not sound very good
Did you mean the tuning of the box, if so it's a mixture of box size, port size, and port length.
