[QUOTE="bugflipper, post: 6845843, member: 621756"] What you tune it to is just personal preference. If you are going for straight sq, tune in themid to high 20s. If you are going for sql tune in the 30s. If you can handle it sounding a little boomy and just want spl go for low to mid 40s. I tune w7 in mid to high 20s because they have plenty of output above but are a little low on output at low frequencies. It is just really personal preference on the sound you like. Imho if you want to go above 35 you really aren't doing sq subs any justice. I have heard of tuning to the interior freq, but avoid. If your cabin gain is around 40 it is already boosted at that freq. Givind another 6 db or so at 40 will turn it into a one note wonder. Everything would most likely be ballanced until it hit 40 then it would possibly be twice as loud. Personally I tune low since output is generally lower there. That way it allows me to have the benefits of a ported box without the detraction of a boomy note that gets blown way out of proportion to the balance of the sub. [/QUOTE]
