box tuning question

ok i know there might be too many variables to answer this question but if possible...

assuming you have a sub with a perfectly flat response from like 20-80hz...

and your box is tuned to 32 hz.. how much does the box influence that specific frequency...?

I'm pretty sure it still makes quite a bit of difference...can't tell you how much though.

What do you mean it has a perfectly flat response from 20-80hz? Are you referring to the spec on the speaker that says Frequency Response: 20-80hz or whatever? If so, that does NOT mean the sub will play perfectly flat from 20-80hz as that is very enclosure dependent.

If you have a sub in an enclosure tuned to 32hz, there is a VERY slight chance you will have a flat response from 20-80hz.
