I personally havent heard a setup like this but I could imagine you could have a swappable port for daily and comp, couldnt imagine it sounding horrible...

From what I've been able to test in vehicle with other setups I believe my frequency to be 46hz.

tune lower that should help you box peak more in line with your car. I used to have a high tuned box in my cav it was like 50hz then I tuned for music and got louder quote: Originally posted by Creepy porn store employee : Im outa here like a heard of turtles" 147.5DB

By making the port wider it is only going to bring the tuning freq up instead of down.

unless you add more length too, but then you give up major box volume, which likely won't help when lowering the frequency.

easy to just build a new box tuned lower. try some aero ports and just hack off a bit at a time till your score plateaus quote: Originally posted by Creepy porn store employee : Im outa here like a heard of turtles" 147.5DB

Last Weekend at the TNE Mothers Day Soundoff I set a new record for myself at 145.8. The additional run from front batt gave me a .4 increase. Same settings as the show before that.
