Depends on what you classify as boomy. Lots of clueless guys out there think strong 45hz peak is boomy, some think 25-35hz frequencies are boomy and some think 55hz and up frequencies are boomy. Note this is peak in your actual musical response, not box tuning.
What people consider boomy is actually properly classified as PEAKY (some frequencies are way too strong compared to others) and they dont know it. A flat frequency response generally will leave most people with no complaints.
Seriously though man its ALL in the music, if the song has boom, it will boom, if the song has tight bass, the sub will play tight bass. there's not much more to it.
Tuning frequency along with box/port size affects group delay which is how tight and accurate your response will be. However some people like their bass peaking at a higher frequency rather than flat bass curve because its their listening preferences which is why they tune higher.
In my personal listening tastes, I cant stand tuning low, zero impact up top in the 60hz region, I mean it will it but its no where near as strong as the 25hz to 50hz region.
