[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8342730, member: 614752"] I'm saying port area has nothing to do with it. Your woofer is performing exactly as it's specifications predict it will in an enclosure tuned that low. I'd guess if it's playing 28hz it may well even be tuned lower than you think which would make the response even less linear. Get bassbox pro WinISD or other graphing software and see the predicted frequency response for yourself. If you want to tune zV3 12" in the low 30's you will get a peak around tuning and then a drop off in the frequencies where actual musical instruments happen. Personally I'd tune them around 38-40hz and stick to actual normal speed music. In 4.5 to 5 cube that models much better IMO. You will need new woofers if you wish to play whale songs and actual music if you want things to sound even remotely balanced. [/QUOTE]
