Limits of Sub Woofers


I've heard that the THX logo sound has 16 hz tones. My sub, NHT SuperSub "doubles" when the logo plays. It rolls off >3db below 37 hz. What I'm interested in knowing is what are the practical limits of home sub-woofers, taking into account room boundaries, which ones go measurably really low and what are the frequency extremes of most movie (DVD) soundtracks, i.e., what do we need?

Curtaudio, please describe how you determined the Velodyne's low frequency measurement. What test disc, SPL, whatever. I'm curious.
