Enclosures roll off below tuning when you tune at 40hz everything below that gets cut off and and on music that make the subwoofer seem quiet since it's only playing like 1/2 the bassline.  So tuning low does seem louder, because it IS louder if we are concerned about more than just a peak reading.  Another reason why chasing numbers on a meter is often an exercise in frustration if your actually looking to enjoy your stereo and don't just compete.</p></blockquote><p></p>
