I've never had a box below 45hz......but this time around I want some very nice soudning, loud bass. Thanks!

Also, Is 32hz good for comps at all?.....as I would like to be over 150db if possible. I dont see it as a huge problem really as Im less than 3db away from 150 in a trunk with my twelves but thats @ 47hz.....

A 32hz box will peak really low (since the box tunes lower in your vehicle anyway). This gives you a disadvantage since lower notes carry allot less energy than higher notes. Having a trunk car gives you even more of a disadvantage. Here's an idea. Maybe make an interchangeable slot port box? I done it once and loved it. Had a port for SPL and a port for daily. Was completely bolt on.

I like the idea of being able to listen to music as well as hitting up events while not sacraficing daily. Do you have pics of your box? Thanks!
