well, alrighty, then. hey, i'm on your side, i run two skar ma-8's in small ported box and i love them. on a apsm1500.

15hz below tuning...I called it. Most sub in a decent box is going to bottom out that far below tuning if you are putting anywhere close to RMS power to it.
Raise SSF, or drop the volume on notes that low.
Stupid Loud.

I have a 98 4 door and was doing 148@30 with an m3a amp and an 18.
Would do 141@19hz.

Like i stated before, I love the ma's, they replaced a black coned rf t2 12. Basically, the same amont of cone-4 inch on the rf and 2 two inch with the ma's. What amp on those vvx's? I have a couple of the vvx-8's d2 (not trying to sell just imparting info) sitting on the floor.
Yeah iirc you're only supposed to play around 5hz below tuning I could see trying for lower if you were under-powering them but not on that power just my .02. As for the zvx being better than nightshades I'll just sit here quietly and act like I agree.
