small question

My amp has a subsonic filter from 20-50HZ

and my sub has freq response from 20-500(cvx12)

box is tuned at 32 hz.

I've read and learnt that the ssf filters the frequency below a certain point.

will it be ok/advisable to set my ssf on the lowest on my amp(i.e 20hz)

Sorry I typed incorrectly.....edited

I'd set it closer to 30.

Below the tuning frequency the enclosure has less and less control of the movement of the sub. With a powerful amp and low frequency material the sub can flop around almost like it's not in an enclosure at all which can lead to mechanical damage.
