What should I tune my box to! (POLL!)

Ok so I am in a debate. My old setup consisted of 2 18" RD Alphas and it hit the lows pretty **** nice and thats what I like. My new setup is consisting of 4 12" Alphas. I want low bass but at the same time want to be able to put up a decent number. Are 12"s capable of hitting the lows as well as 18"s? I am in a debate whether I should tune it to 32hz or 38hz. Can I still hit the lows with 38hz tuning?

i would do 35 hz. lets say u do 38 hz u will peak around 44 hz or so with your truck that will be good for meter. U wont hit the lows to well if u tune to 35 u will peak some were around 40 hz or so and still some of the lows. i could see u puting up good numbers around 42 hz.

i would do 35 too.i had 32 and didnt like it even though i was making the dog go crazy in the house while i was playing it outside.to me 32hz is more felt than heard.i like the inbetween at 35hz

I vote interchangeable ports, but if thats not an option I would go 32hz
