I love it! Sounds great to me.

How low have you tried to play so far?

I’ve just been jamming my normal music. And I have no idea what hz is playing. I’ll find some test tones and see.

You may try at tuning frequency and just go one hz at a time down, be very careful with the volume level while doing that, if it unloads, you can really really damage the sub.

I know with my 2 DC XL m2 18 (1400w) box tuned to 29 hz with very similar port area, I wouldn't bottom out playing subsonic. But I had really good amps that controlled the woofers very well, so that definitely is a factor is amp quality. Best of luck, hope you're enjoying it! I might or might not be jealous.

Lowest tone I saw on iTunes was 19 hz and it played fine. I wouldn’t play it loud or long, but it played.

Kinda curious to see a video of it playing.

I’ll see what I can do. Just playing the 19 hz, a song, or both?

Regular music idk what you listen to though.

Not too low, but like in the low 30's, high 20's maybe. But do whatever you want.

I’ve never done a “sub video.” Folks on YouTube show their mirrors vibrating, trunks and body panels flexing, and the sub flexing. So how is it “supposed” to be done?

I really don't know. I think you have to match frame rates with the frequencies to get the best videos, or else you miss the peak of the flexing. I never got it down, but it was just iPhone videos. So if you're playing 30 hz, aim for a 30 or 60 FPS frame rate, maybe.

I personally listen to Metal, Classic Rock and some Rap. So would be nice to hear a quick something of each but at this point idc.

Sounds really rattled in the video, but doesn’t in person. Interesting. Anyway, here’s a vid

You played one of my favorite all time songs! You should make a vid with the trunk lid closed. And yeah, that camera will have trouble picking up the bass sound bc of the mic's bandwidth.
