[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 6208000, member: 549629"] Do not forget, just because the material dips below the tuning point of your sub system and the sub starts to 'unload' does not make the sound harder to hear. The sub can be playing well below tuning, unloading like a mother****er, but its still moving air and creating sound waves. What I think has been lost in this discussion by getting too techincal is the fact that at some point, subbass DOES become inaudible to the human ear. Where exactly, and to what extent, is different for every person. This may simply be what is occurring, and I suspect as much, because a system tuned to 32hz should be capable of extending down to 20hz without much problem. The general rule of thumb for setting a SSF is half an octave below enclosure tuning. [/QUOTE]
