you could tune at 20 if you wanted.
Not really. Some Stone Sour...
and even at 50 hrts it punchy enof to make you cringe i just set it up for lows that hurt your ears

you said that your lows hit louder than your higher bass, leading me to believe that there is a gap between subs and midbass somewhere. your door speakers might be able to cover that some.

ahh. i enjoy the lows that can't be heard also.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif
i could tune to 20 htz but my 6 inch aeros would be 35.7 inches long
In my limited experience higher tuning kicks *** on metal. I had a ported 8 tuned ~35-37hz. It was awesome on all but the lowest of rap. I had a single 12 tuned to 28hz, I didn't have the midbass to back it up. The setup was lacking from approx 50-80hz. Im concerned about the same issue with my IB but this time I will have eq ad better midbass drivers.
i like feeling my bass and watching my dash do the wave and seeing my sunroof flex about and inch or so peek to peek

tuning that low in a car is pointless anyway. i stay 28 and above.
it was a joke it tuned to low now but i like how it sounds and dont care it does a 152.8 at 37 hrz and can do that for hours on one saz 3500

30hz
It's pretty obvious from the responses who listens for the musical aspects and who listens for output. It's also obvious who knows how to tune an enclosure based upon more than just regurgitated info. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
Specs of the driver must be known, the transfer function of the vehicle must be known, and your musical tastes must be known. You can't just say to someone that 28Hz is too low and that it will result in a lack of midbass or otherwise unacceptable levels of performance. Far too many variables.
OP, if you like metal and hip hop, there's a pretty good chance you would enjoy a sealed setup. It would probably offer the balance of performance that you're looking for. If that sounds like something that would work for you, try to find a relatively efficient driver with low moving mass and low inductance with a Qts that would be suitable for sealed enclosures, about .5 and higher. The low mass and low inductance will lend itself to those fast, tight drum sounds and will reveal rich harmonic structures in the bass lines. If one driver sealed isn't enough output, maybe go with a pair.
Vented enclosures are resonant by nature and resonance stores energy, which corresponds with a high group delay. Group delay is responsible for robbing you of fast transients. Tuning low does help quite a bit to improve overall transient performance and there are many vented alignments with outstanding group delay and excellent transient response but none come close the transient response offered by a sealed enclosure.
