[QUOTE="frikk, post: 3047503, member: 577294"] I have been designin my box via manufacturers specifications. My box says that I will have a -3dB dropoff at 35Hz, and a Tuning Frequency of 36 Hz. I understand the -3dB, but what is the Tuning Frequency? Also my sub has a resonant frequency (Fb) of 37.4 Hz. I understand that this is the frequency where the sub resonates in free air. But how do I use this? Do I try to get the box tuning frequency as close to the resonant frequency as possible? This seems like it would tear everything apart. I also see that according to the calculators out there, I can adjust the port length and change my tuning frequency. Cool, but why? Also - what is tuning exactly? I am basically just looking to find out what I am supposed to do once I have my box, port length, etc. configured so that it is at a specific tuning frequency, and how this relates to my sub's resonant frequency.
