I have my 10"er tuned at 28hz, and it plays cymbals just fine(with no crossover applied). //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif The lower tuning is for a smoother response, no big peak and then a drop-off below tuning. I'd rather be quieter and be within 1-2db from 25-80hz than be loud and have a 6-9db difference from 50hz to 30hz. Not to mention a lower tuning keeps the group delay bump further away from where the kick-drum and the majority of bass guitar is, so rock music seems to be more accurate to my ears. Couple all of that with knowing that you're not going to bottom out your sub due to low notes in songs(some amps don't have a SSF), and I don't see how people who actually like listening to music can't tune low.
