i don't see how a sub can produce frequencies that can hurt your ears. Maybe his sub is running full range //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Besides the subwoofer enclosure itself, wouldn't the T/S parameters of the subwoofers come into play too regarding the tuning of the port? Not all subwoofers of the same size are created equal!

A box has a tuning frequency, which is basically the frequency where the back wave from the sub is most perfectly being inversed and coming out in phase with the front wave of the sub.

The sub's output and peakyness will be affected by this depending on the sub, but the sub doesn't actually affect tuning frequency at all (other than giving you an idea of what you should use). Its a matter of the speed of sound and the length of sound waves at different frequencies

use no bass boost at all

and set gains with a dmm and see how it sounds
