I have subs that can go to 18hz, but its bad for them most likely, the lower the hz the lower bass notes you can hit correct? In order for your subs to be tuned to a lower hz you need more box space, correct?

uhhh it's way more complicated then that

but first, why do you say your sub can go to 18hz? is that it's frequency response? is that it's fs?

and no it's not just the lower the notes you want to hit the bigger the box needs to be. the box size effects a lot of things just like the port length and area also play a big role into how the box plays.

You can't hear 18Hz (most humans can't anyways), what you can hear is the sub bottoming out. State your vehicle and equipment infos, box max dims, to see what can be done.
