[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8771635, member: 614752"] Bear in mind if you dump your tuning into the mid to low 20hz range it will play those handful of tracks very loud but may fall flat on its face as you start getting into the higher frequencies where 99% of commercially available music is going to happen. Yes, I know what 20hz is and outside of home theater I don't really plan around trying to play that low because most high powered car audio subwoofers really become a one-trick-pony when people go for those wind-tunnel builds. For reference I'm doing 160.9 @ 42hz with 4 15s on two Sundown SFB 8000s, can play safely down to about 35 with the doors and windows closed and a bit lower still if not at full power. This is a flat wall, I use some rather extreme SPL oriented subwoofers and it's not really as flat a response as I'd like, so not really apples to apples with your no-wall ceramic motor subs with a flat looking response.
