The tuning frequency is the point where you'll have a peak in the frequency response - cone movement will be at its minimal point and airflow out of the port will be at maximum. Tuning lower will generally result in better SQ with higher transient response, while tuning higher will result in higher overall SPL with sacrificed SQ. Although your ears can play tricks with you as to what actually sounds louder in-vehicle.

Tuning is based on enclosure volume and port area...

so u dont have to do anything with a seal box except to make sure it renders to the specs the sub needs?

Yup. Just need to be sure it provides adequate airspace for the sub and for your listening tastes.
