[QUOTE="hispls, post: 6802263, member: 614752"] I've had mixed results with sub and port aiming in sedans, the only way to know for sure is to spin the box around and test. I can say for 100% sure you'll need to tune HIGH if you want to put up big numbers. Honstely I find tuning even at 40 rather unsatisfying for my musical listening, but it's well above there that you'll get your huge peaks. Personally I find 130db at 20hz feels much more impressive than 145 at 50. My .02$ is to tune at 45 or 50 with a big *** port if you want to put up impressive numbers....take it from a guy who just spent a day and 100$ worth of materials building a box to double the ammount of subs and double the ammount of power for NO peak gain at all on the meter for the sake of 7 or 8 hz Most people who do extreme SPL throw WAY more power at a woofer than it's "rated" to handle, but only for about 3 seconds.
