[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 4097371, member: 555320"] If by "tight" you mean "quick and punchy", then you're not really talking about subbass any more. Subbass is naturally slow and thick. Most of the "tight and punchy" sound is actually in the lower midbass region (which may or may not be primarily reproduced by your subwoofers, depending on your setup). In which case I'd recommend giving proper attention to your midbass speakers and not just the subwoofers. If by "tight and not boomy" you mean a subbass setup that has a relatively flat frequency response instead of an exaggerated low end or overbearing emphasis ("boomy") then it's mainly an issue of proper sub-to-mid integration and equalization as well as considering the acoustics of the vehicle when designing the enclosure.
