[QUOTE="Johnny Drama, post: 2117448, member: 554719"] Yes and no. Higher tuned "should" be louder. Lower tuned will keep the frequency range more balanced then a higher tuned box. The peak will be minimalized. Higher tuned box will not sound "better or worse" but it will drop off in loudness below the tuning faster then a ported box tuned lower. For example... A box tuned to 40hz is going to start unloading in the mid to low 30hz range. At this point you risk ruining the sub. A box tuned to 30hz should play fine into the low 20hz range provided your subs is up to it. With all of that said...its all up to personal preferences. Some like the higher tuning cause most music rarely sees low 30hz notes. Some like the lower tuning for frequency balance. [/QUOTE]
