Dropping the tuning to 19 hz ends up with you giving up more then you get in my opinion.

Rodny -when following your links I'm getting a error message that says:

"Invalid Attachment specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

No sub pics.

Wow, alot of people working on 10" sub projects. Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Your work is always top notch.

Front sub and port with the amp on the back is what I would personally do.

Re: another css 10" build


The Bash 300 has various combinations of HPF's and boost by changing 2 resistors. The factory default settings are 17.7 hz with 1 db of boost at 25-30 hz. Lucky you, you're plug and play!
