sure you can tune it as low as you want.. well actually it also depends on the driver, but for the sake of this conversation, lets say you can.
if he listens to material located in the 45-60hz range, why would be want to tune it lower? Yes the lows would be nice, but it will definately lack punch. the tuned range will not cover all thats above it...
furthermore, he has a 10" driver, tuning it low will result in terrible efficiency and utlimately, if he listens loud, it'll fry (distorsion from amp and operation below its Fs).
