Fine tuning my sub cabinet
I finally finished my sub cabinet! The 2242H in my 8+ cu.ft. box, tuned to the recommendations of Giskard and the like (thanks guys) sounds great!
I did a sweep and it seems to be tuned to 32Hz, though the 2242H isn't broken in yet.
When I play CDs through it I don't hear much air coming from the ports. I suspect it's because there isn't that much 30Hz stuff on most CDs.
Since I want to use this sub in a PA application, with the graphic EQ rolling off stuff below 40Hz, would it make sense to raise the tuning of this cabinet?
How much? Would 40Hz be a good point? Will shortening the 3 ducts accomplish this?
Any input will be appreciated.

It will only get better after break-in!

Mine took around 100 to 200 hours of playing(low wattage-under 100 watts), but moves some serious air now with as little as 10 to 20 watts!;)
I love mine and never regret getting it!
