[QUOTE="shredder2, post: 8735377, member: 674047"] I've done more than a few enclosures myself, most people specify "loud" when they're really after lows. Vehicle, goals and music preference... and driver usually dictate tuning and enclosure type. Lower tier subs have come a long way. Tuned under 34hz I barely did 150 but it sure felt loud AF for what it was, extension to 25hz and peaked around 37hz n my cabin. Tuned 40ish I was consistently doing 152.4db @ 47hz for a time Usaci 3K stock. Just happened that the higher tuning matched my musical preferences. The lower tunings demoed great but lacked the punch I was after personally. Others preferred the lower extension of the lower tune but I suppose I'm a Spl junkie of sorts. Different subs as well... the Resilient liked a lower tuning vs the Bl which worked out fairly well for Spl. I loved watching the wipers slap +2" off the windshield on burps. It was slightly headachy bass but had tons of impact, it wasn't too bad though and did not part the car out like the lower tuning did (daily whip). Bud of mine is knocking on 160, peaking 55hz... ouch. Not bad for a single 18 but not my idea of musical unless tones are your thing... lol. Its all about goals. Lots of decent $100 subs available, but in the end enclosure/install will make or break your substage... and that's the foundation of your music. [/QUOTE]
