sealed isnt tuned to anything. are you asking what frequency your subs peak at in that box?

^^That....there is no tuning frequency for a sealed enclosure

Well what I want to do is configure my amp for optimal performance. And I was to do the -3db test tone and I need to figure out at what hz I need to download it and play it.

anything below your LPF and above your ssf will work...

no idea. what subs/amp/car do you have?

I have a 1200w brutus amp and 2 12" 500 rms zeus subs on an 01 honda civic.

i would just use a tone around 35-45 hz.
but i think there are other (easier) ways for setting gains too.

I've been researching this shit and if you could enlighten me on easier ways then go for it.

that is not tunable....civics just have too much power for car audio.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
