go to the msg board and search.

but ill try and expplain it quickly. the tuning of the box has to do with the port area, port length, and box volume. the frequency you tune it to is the peak (loudest). the lower you tune it, the better sounding it is...the higher you tune it, the louder it gets (compared to tuning it lower) but SQ lacks. pure spl boxes are tuned for over40 hz....i think.

but i would def say search because there are more indepth discussion of this on this msg board...
