Ok so I took a little trip to a town where they have a few audio shops. The buddy was looking to get some new subs to go along with his new kenwood amp and alpine head-unit. We get there and I've been in there before, so the guy recognizes me right away. I tell him my friend is lookin to buy some new subs to go with his supplies. So he takes us into the woofer room and shows us a couple kenwood subs and some low class JL subs. I asked the guy if he happend to have any RF stuff. And he took me into another room and showed me the new shipment that had came in that day. So I walk into the room to find P1s, P2's, P3's, T1's, and T2's ALL brand new and pretty as can be! The friend is on a budget so he settles with two 12" P2's in a sealed box. Not a bad first system (well second system--he bought an old school infinity that shit the bed when he hooked up his new amp to it). But, the P2's sound decent in his '89 grand prix. Anyway, I start talkin with the guy about the boxes he builds. He tells me that if my friend wanted to switch to a ported box, we could do so. I told the guy that the box should be tuned to about 32-36 hz. He gave me a look as if I was the stupidest person in the world. "Thats WAY to low," He told me. He further explained the the lowest he tunes his boxes are about 55-60hz--even for 15's-- and that's what he sells to the public because that's what sounds the best to him. We got into a little arguement over this, which ended in me saying that he was right (I was soooo tired of argueing).
I dont know how the guy can continue to sell boxes with them tuned so high.
Anyway, just thougt I'd share the little story with you guys.
