try posting what subs you have and you might get some good recommendations.

and why not try waiting more than 13min. before getting upset that there's no response, not many people post this early.

they are some cheap Pioneer TSW301R subs they are going in my brother car (young guy)they are about 150rms a piece so what would be a good tuning and does giving the subs there own "chamber" make a differnce ?

i would say tune into mids 30s even upper 30s

separte chambers IMO sounds a bit cleaner than single ...but single = more output .....

well i didnt have a meter when 1 once tested my 2 type R in single & separte boxes just to see for myself , but to my ears the single sounded a bit louder

but i wouldnt tune 32hz since thats more SQ - IMO around 35\36 = more SQL ....i never used that model b4 but DONT go by rec specs for pioneer subs ...if unsure always use the max cuft they give u so u get more deeper bass .....

prted boxes lose out on alot of low end extension due to the lack of suspension below the tuning frequency. there is not enough air in the port to reinforce the bass output and therefore the output drops drasticly. if you want low end extension your gonna have to tune your box to a max of 32 hz or go sealed. boxes tuned to 32 hz or less will generally be louder at every frequency than a sealed box including at the low end.
