Hey. I was wondering if someone could help me out with regards to frequency response. I'm running a 500wattRMS sub (a single one) in the trunk of a Honda Accord. I'm running it with a 1000watt max/500watt RMS amp. I'm getting a ported enclosure, but from my understanding your box has to be tuned to match or you lose response from the sub below it's tuning frequency.

So i don't wanna damage my sub. The sub has a 21Hz-1kHz frequency response. How do I know about the box? It's 21(h)x18(d)x17(w), but does it even go by the boxes dimensions? Does it matter how much i'm gonna really push my sub? I've gone to a few websites, but still am not sure about how to do this right.

try telling us the make and model of both the sub and the amp.
that'd help to start

generally for a ported box:
set amp LPF to 60-80Hz
set amp subsonic filter to tuned port frequency
tune enclosure port to a bit above the driver's Fs.

Ok, this is the sub:

This is the amp:

The specs for the box are up top. It looks like the first two things you suggested I can set on the amp. What about tuning an enclosure port? How is that done? What if the box is already made? Thanks for your help.

I just don't wanna damage the sub you know? I'm not gonna be blasting my sh*t at the max, but I wanna be sure.
