I'm making a ported box, and wondering what would sound better, tuned to 32hz or 30hz? Im new to all this tuning; im clueless with everything about it. What are your boxes tuned to and how do they sound? Btw, the sub is a fi q 12.

both tuning will sound good just depends what you like. though you wont hear much difference between 32 and 30. mine is tuned to 33 and sounds great

Mid 30s for a bit of everything. Most hip hop is recorded in the high 30s low 40s

Most rock is low 30s

I lsten to mostly rap, but also everything? So 30 should be fine then, good quality and still loud?

Put it this way, Lil waynes stuff is low 40s. IMO 30 is to low for daily hip hop.

What sub do you have? You should build the box to suit the sub and the music ya listen to.

there is plenty of hiphop/rap thats in the 30's and even 20's. just depends what you listen to. most of the stuff i listen to is in the 30's and high 20's.

low 30s is kickdrum.

There are a few hip hop songs that get low but its always the same artist. Jeezy or Zoe.

With the q, you can play 25 and up easily......but where is your midbass playing down to? If you tune to 30, you won't play up to 80.
