but yes, there will be a definite gain at the tuning frequency, while still having a good sound above that frequency.

i fear we're being a little too generic here. the box doesn't unload right at tuning, it /begins/ to unload. major effects are noted several octaves BELOW port tuning frequency. so if the box is tuned sufficiently, the major problem frequencies will be well below what normal music has material in anyway. at higher power levels, I always strongly recommend a subsonic filter to prevent issues. either way....

you're not mentioning anything about the natural gain of the vehicle. sure the box, on paper, may rolloff at a certain point, but the 3rd gen has a serious transfer function that makes up for a lot of it.

just my 0.02...theres a LOT more factors than those just glazed over here...
