best tuning frequency for both sq/spl?

I'm having a box built pretty soon, but am not really sure on what I should have the box tuned to. At first, I figured 30Hz would be good, but I've been getting so many suggestions lately...so what do you guys think?

i built a 6 cubed ft box tuned to 29hz for a 15'' XXX and it has the best of both worlds in SQ and SPL. Also thats what RE reccomended.

my box is around 5 ft^3 tuned to 33hz and its perfect. so IMO anywhere from 35 down to around 27-28 or so you will have a great mix of SQ and SPL

no, people generally tune their box higher for spl. and low for sq. are you absolutely sure your 15 can't hit 30? play a test frequency sweep, i'm sure it can hit at least 30...
