[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 2507643, member: 549629"] First off, I doubt even at a 35hz tuning Id call it 'peaky', for the record I said a bit peakier. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] Even 35hz is considered a relatively low tuning point, and a XXX wont sound bad with that design. The higher you tune the box, the closer it comes to matching the tuning freq of your vehicle. The closer each are, the more they work together. At some point, if you were to tune your box to mate with your vehicle's tuning freq, like SPL competitors do, it will have a very 'peaky' response. This means when the frequency response of the system is graphed out, there will be a large spike, or peak, in the response at or around tuning.

Loud for some songs/notes, not nearly so for others. A higher tuning freq lends itself to a monotonal bass line like is usually found in rap/hip-hop, but other music genres that use a wider bass frequency spectrum wont sound as good. Will you notice the output increase between 30 and 35hz? Will you notice the SQ difference? Who knows. First off, we dont know your experience or exactly what you are wanting here.
