nevermind i think i may have figured it out. 1.173 sealed and 3.437 vented with a 5"x 47.88" port. would make tuning around 23.11hz. does that sound about right? or am i missing something

What the hell sub is this? And tuning to 23 is too low. Its wasting the box, might as well go sealed at that point.
