[QUOTE="Immacomputer, post: 5155619, member: 570419"] If a sub sounds bottom heavy, tuning higher will just shift that peak higher in frequency and increase the Q. Trying to use the port to boost the frequencies that now seem attenuated (upper bass notes) will only cause more peaks in the response and the upper bass notes won't really see any gain from the port. Lowering the tuning is a better fix if you're trying to get rid of a bottom heavy sub setup. That will take the extra energy from the port away from the problematic frequencies and put that energy into a frequency range that is usually attenuated and where hearing sensitivity is starting to decrease. This will decrease efficiency though. [/QUOTE]
