[QUOTE="jujumantb, post: 628015, member: 555241"] No, tuning under 30 wont magically make your ported box sound good. You DO have a HUGE ass peak down there when mixed with cabin gain, and IMO sounds like crap, not the quality of the bass, but the quantity. Some people here dont seem to understand that huge part of SQ is having a flat frequency response. Sealed does this much better. Ported boxes for pure SQ in car audio is stupid IMO, the point of them is to be efficient, but with that, you have a huge peak nomatter what you tune to. In home audio where you dont have cabin gain, ported is great. [/QUOTE]
