[QUOTE="02dodgeram, post: 2153129, member: 570509"] "Try downfiring instead :)" Perhaps I don't understand the meaning of downfiring, but wouldn't that mean mounting them to the bottom of the box? They're under my rear seats, and its quite impossible to downfire them if my understanding of the term is correct. "Because playing music with content that low means your drivers will be "uncontrolled" by the enclosure...39Hz is awfully high for a daily driver. I'm not surprised your subs are bottoming out at 30Hz...you need a subsonic filter to attenuate the lower frequencies, or tune lower." My question was is there any way to rig something up that will lower the tuning frequency? There is nowhere else for the port to go.
