Does it matter what frequency I use to set the gain of my subwoofer amp. I know it has to be below 80 Hz so the LP filter doesn't kick in, but does it matter if I use a 50hz tone, 70 hz, 30 hz, or what frequency of a tone. Does it matter.

50 Hz will be about as robust as they get.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
