[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8771791, member: 591582"] There's quite a few rap songs that dip into the low 30's and some that dip into the high 20's. Lower tuned boxes play flatter, so when tuning low, you usually won't get as sharp of a peak based around your cabin resonance, and it'll make the lows louder and more balanced with the highs. I'm not sure how many people have experienced actually hearing 28 hz at full volume or a note like that, but most people that have a box that can hit a note like 28 hz and play it without any reservation, they never wanted to go back to a box where they lost those high 20's notes. Most people that I've designed for like being able to get down into the high 20's range. Also, bigger systems like you have just play a little differently, because the box size is so huge, so the cabin size is just getting smaller. A massive system like yours is going to be able to pressurize that vehicle very well across a wide range of frequencies, even with lower tuning. So, tuned lower may lead to a lower overall peak SPL score, but it tends to play flatter and have more even SPL across a wider bandwidth, and you get to hit lows. I personally like larger systems tuned lower, because it makes the response significantly flatter, and the transitioning between the notes is so smooth. The high end rolls off more softly and tends to be less brutal, especially with as much power as you have, lol. Gotta have a somewhat middle ground airspace and port area, where your subs can move enough to get loud, but not too much where they start unloading with tons of power applied away from tuning frequency. On top of that, your subs are sort of low-end oriented by design, so low tuning matches the nature of your woofers. [/QUOTE]
