What does it mean to tune an enclosure?

I know it has something to do with the size of the port/vent in a ported box, but when you tune it to a certain frequency, 35hz for example, what does that mean?

Its basicly where your speaker is set to "peak at"

Ok, and how does this affect your system overall?

Im pretty sure, it just means where your spl is going to peak.

Say for example, you tune to 35 hz, your spl is going to peak i believe around 45-60...

I could be wrong, however, I know tuning lower yields better sq, while tuning higher is for spl
