[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8735826, member: 591582"] My loudest system was tuned to 29 hz with 2 dc xl m1 18's and I could play 25 hz at 145, 27 hz at 147, peak 149.3 @ 35 hz (vehicle resonance), and could play 147+ all the way up 65 hz or so. I could play into the 70's but my box was a little too big so the woofers would start unloading and it would rape my voltage. The box I had wasn't designed for the 18's I had, so it was a little bigger than it needed to be, or else I could've easily reached up into the low 70's. In an ideal world, I would have doors that could play down to about 60-80 hz somewhere. Like play loudly down to that level, and I would have my sub stage play maybe 20-65 hz. That's what I like. I would run dedicated midbasses instead of trying to tune my box higher. That is a lot of work, but that's why I say ideally. Low end bass is super popular. That's why Sundown's X and Z series are so popular. That whole style of super big excursion and big surrounds is primarily based around reproducing low frequencies. Some people like it. There's a whole style of subwoofers now based around hitting lows. And if that's your thing, then awesome! If it's not, it's still awesome because you can still do whatever you want with a box!
