in terms of 30-45 hz when tuning boxes the lower the box is tuned the further the bass will travel?

lower the bass (lower frequency), the longer wavelength, therefore the further and more 'spreadout' the sound will be yes....

Did you really mean to ask:

"The lower the tuning, the further away I can be heard by people."

yes

Well then your answer is yes, the lower your box in tuned the further you can be heard away. I had 4 12's in my truck and my box was tuned to 28. I get pulled over on the way to this beach with some friends. He tells me that he heard me for 30 sec. before he could see me. That sure did make my day. But remeber being heard loud outside is not always good yea you look cool, but all it is is advertising.

Sorry, but wave propagation is incorrect. Here's a somewhat related definition:

"Sound propagates through air as a longitudinal wave. The speed of sound is determined by the properties of the air, and not by the frequency or amplitude of the sound. Sound waves, as well as most other types of waves, can be described in terms of the following basic wave phenomena."

In other words, how long it takes to fully develope the waveform for a particular note/freq does not affect how it travels through the air.

Thats quite off topic. The speed at which sound moves through air does not relate to how long it will continue to carry. It doesn't matter if its summer or winter, sub frequencies will carry much farther than higher frequencies.

what are some pros to tuning your box higher rather than lower to be heard from farther away?
