[QUOTE="ahole-ic, post: 6791959, member: 619324"] DD's are fine tuned low if you want it that way. They have really stiff suspensions so they can play safely a little ways below box tuning, but you still lose output when you go below tuning, but it is MUCH more gradual than other subs. The bottom line is, if you really want that punchy really low bass with your DD subs, go ahead and tune low. You will lose a lot of the higher bass from 55-80hz and that means you probably won't meter well, but it sounds like that's not what you're going for. Also, DD subs usually have a higher FS than most other subs. Tuning below their FS usually doesn't get you any better low end extension because the sub simply can't reproduce those notes. If you REALLY want that deep low end extension, you might try a sub with a lower fs. [/QUOTE]
