Default will i gain any db's??

Hey all right now i got my box tuned @ 35hz for daily and i'm doing a 145.3@39hz...i was maybe going to build a new box tuned some where around 55hz, does any of you think i may gain a little by doing this?? maybe a rough estimate?? i will only be running this setup for a few more shows, and this will just be a competition box, i just don't know if it will be worth it to build one..any thoughts??

you will gain db's. not sure how many exactly, but my guess would be 3 to 4 maybe.

Making a fartbox will gain db's yes.

As pat said theres no way to tell how many.

It's all in the build.

Make sure theres no 90 degree's in the box and round off ur port

blah blah blah, ya what they said 55hz seems alot louder than a low(er) tone
thats weird....why wouldnt it be loudest at peak excursion? more air moved = louder, right? well at least thats what i understood, untill hillbilly or Jon tells me the truth

Technically yes.

But if your box doesnt have the right tuning (higher) The air pressure wont get out as we could say fast?

With a highly tuned box the port is bigger which in turn will push more air out of the box pressurizing the air more
