Very sorry for your loss Trevor, those things are allways hard on a family. My best wishes. Not much to say here. You are under the impression that this is for competition? That would be the only reason for tuning to one's internal frequency, to achieve the best possible numbers. Have you ever heard of people just tuning low and building for sheer street beat? That is obviously what is happening in this build. If you like purely spl, thats great, but not all who build stereo's of this size are going for a one note wonder. (they like music) Try and respect others opinions, and not pretend everyone has the same interests as you. Have a nice day
