Best tuning freq for 2 13w7's?

[halfbakedalaskn]

What's the best tuning for 2 13W7's? I want them in a ported dual box. I mostly listen to rap...mostly, however I do listen to a lot of other rock music now and then. I'm looking for more SPL.

Jl recomends 30hz. but if you want more spl i would tune it higher

Are you looking for compition style spl, or do you just want it loud, I ask this because You probably dont want to tune it to high if your just looking for a good Daily driver loud setup, I would recomend tuning any where from 35 to lower to mid 40's

I'm looking for a little of both, I want to compete but I also want to have it sound good.

Remeber that higher tuning gives your more SPL at a certain freq, not across the board and also gives it a peakier sound. I would look into port plugs or something like that. This way you can have it tuned high for SPL comps or low for most of your daily driving. I would stick with 32 hz or so, you will have a ton of SPL no matter what you tune those subs to as far as daily driving goes. This is assuming you have the right box and power etc.
