Tuning the box only refers to ported, or vented boxes. It's has to do with the relationship of the volume of the box to the area and length of the port.

Nothing to do with the amplifier.

There's no such thing as a stupid question, iLLlegal, as for answers that's a different story...

Sounds to me like your buddy may have been referring to setting the input gain and cross-over frequency on an amp when it is first installed.
