RockfordFosgate.com recomends them to be ported with 1.25 cubes each and at 40 hz. But if you wanna get lower you should give it more air, so yes, a 2.75 at 35 would sound fine.

So do you think that 30hz is to low for the subs.

yes i do. rockford subs lose sound when played lower than recomended. you can try but i don't think you'll be as happy as recomended. i would leave it tuned at 40hz but increase the box air a little

isint 40hz to high to hear the lows in songs Soul Survivor?

 

[NoviceGuru]

yeah they well not hit as hard in that song. i think if you tuned it at 30 you would get what your looking for. just your subs won;t be at there best. i think you would be plenty happy enough though. go for it

I think im gonna tune it at 35hz and see how they sound do you think they compare to my type r's.

 

[NoviceGuru]

as far as? i love the how the rockfords sound. i think they hit awesome. no one on this forum is a rockford fan though. as far as how loud it gets though, the type r well be louder. and you might like that sound better too. but i think both are good subs
