Hmm, changing tuning from 20 to 30hz ?
That won't add slam at all, if anything you may have more sluggish bass.
I know that a 30hz tuning was much better to my ears than a 40hz tuning. Quicker and deeper.
I've never heard a 20hz tuning or lower, so I've no idea.
Slam is also integration with the mids (time alignment stuff).
But running 4 x 15's from 500hz to 80hz, then running 4 x 18's from 80hz to 27hz (6th order tuned boosted subsonic at 27hz), that had massive output (along with 110db 1'x2' mid horn and piezo at 5khz). I hadn't realized how much louder speakers will go by removing those really deep stuff. My current 15's start bouncing at a much lower volume than they should (low freq garbage). My kids said "you know when you told up not to blast the stereo, we didn't realize it was for our protection." lol, that system had slam.
The again, the w-bin I had upstairs had slam, but it also lacked the really low stuff (probably rolled from 150hz to -6db near 60hz then gone), but that was the best kick drum. Watching 5th element, the bullets when the car cars were shooting at Bruce Willis' taxi had impact.
