For HT, how important is extension south of 20 Hz?

And then there is legendary Brown Note, the frequency reportedly somewhere between 5Hz and 20Hz that invokes involuntary gastrointestinal motility. Wouldn't want to miss out on that. Great for parties and family gatherings.

HeHe....they busted that one on the Myth Busters TV show.

Thanks for the responses. And Bulldogger, do I know you? When I was in New Orleans there was at least one active audio club member from Gretna...

Just curious, Bulldogger - what subwoofer(s) do you use for movies now?

Thanks,

Duke

I think it is important for the sub to go below 20, especially for movies, you can't hear it, but you can feel it. Sometimes it feels like my couch is shaking. As Bulldogger said: "The bass down that low causes your clothing to move " totally agree with that.

I recently completed building (2) sonosubs using a design found over on AVSforum with TCsounds TC-2000 15" drivers in each sub. They are flat to 14hz, am driving them with 1000 watts to each sub. This is my first experience with bass of this type for HT. It is just plain fun watching the expressions on my friend's faces when they are over watching a movie or even some concert DVD's (like PF Pulse). Some movies are just plain scary. Like Dave said above, room pressurization is awesome. My recliner feels like one of those electric massage chairs. Supposedly, there is a fair amount of LFE info in the 6-10hz range.
