    :D

    Less plugs = higher amplitude and less extension
    More plugs = lower amplitude and more extension

    pb12-plus/2 set up with only one port plugged @ 20 hz tuning. best for me by far. thought i'd plug two ports, but one port blocked was the best overall.

    I would ONLY block one...

    Blocking two causes a wee bit of strain on the driver...

    PB12-Plus. One port blocked at 20hz. Although, two ports gives me a flatter response,
    one port is best overall.

    Mine is to boomy with nothing plugged. 1 port blocked gives me a nice flat response when room gain is added in. 25-31cs+ Just don't like the sound as much with 2 ports blocked.

    More plugs = lower amplitude and more extension

    Two ports blocked with the PB12-Plus is at 16Hz. There are very few DVDs in that range.

    Pc-Ultra...no ports blocked @ 20hz tuned, as per the little tag that camewith it..

    Now I`m thinking about plugging one port and going to 16hz..!!

    It say`s that "This SVS must have the correct number of foam port "blocks" and matching subsonic filter knob setting to avoid damage" on the toe tag that came on it.

    I thought about one port plugged @ 20hz, but it says "none" for 20 hz..

    whadda ya think..?

    Congrats on the outstanding purchase...I FRIGGIN LOVE MY SVS..!!

    It is the first real sub I have ever experienced...I want another to match it, but I digress..
