Only other even techno bass mix that isnt just like a 10 or 15Hz tone is "Bass I Love You"

Mid 20's is as low as you need to go in car and even that can be over kill.
Yes, but if your box is tuned to, say, 20hz and your vehicles resonant frequency is 43, your peak will be between the two, so your 20hz tune won't sound all that great. You want to tune it lower, so that when that tune mixes with that of the vehicle, the output peak is closer to where you want it. You usually want the peak to be low low, as those tones are harder to hear and the output levels out about 10hz up from the peak(if built correctly).
