Use a smaller box and tune higher.

I have been following this list for a while - mainly, but not always, as a
lurker - and I must say, I am in awe of the knowledge and expertise of the
people who post here. It's interesting, however, that there are a few
areas in which complete ignorance reigns.

Because the lowest frequency of a bass guitar cab (4-string) is around
40Hz, you should tune a bass guitar cab to around 45Hz. For normal
electric guitar, don't use a reflex cab, use a sealed cab or an
open-backed cab, depending on the parameters of the speaker.

**Nonsense. The lowest useful frequency from a bass guitar is higher than
80Hz. Almost no fundamental is audible. It's all second harmonic.
