In my case my sub/box combo did great on the lower freqs but needed a small boost one the higher end of the sub spectrum. I have the freq adjusted all the way up and I use the volume know lightly only when I need it.

Set the Q switch to HI Q not low and freq to tracking not fixed as it says in *BC secrets*. You then need to set freq adjuster on remote control by method described in secrets, ie max bass with cone not moving which should be up from point cone is moving heaps but lacking output. With that box tuned that low I'd hope its built for SQ or SQL and so not a dedicated SPL box, so the cube will help fatten higher end bass and shouldn't need 15dB of boost. Follow instructions in secrets and then just use cube to add enough boost so it sounds to your liking, and as long as your not boosting low end(which you shouldn't need with your box), and not by a heap(probably don't need more than 6 to 10dB max), should sound great.

Hope that helps but if you have anything your not sure about, let us know. Your box should sound good as is and so BC shouldn't have to do much, but will mean you can crank it a bit harder due to BCs subsonic filter protecting it from unloading on low freq stuff. Obviously with that sort of power you can still smoke sub by over driving it so use volume control with caution

If your box is tuned for 25 HZ it will be easy, just turn the freq adjuster to the point that you like it at. Do set the in/out buttons as described above tho. the reason I say this is because in tracking mode you can adjust it while on the fly, and the lowest subsonic tuning point is 25Hz on the unit. turned all the counter clockwise of course. It should be slamming at your tuning point but may be better set higher at say around 33Hz for the safety of the sub.
