I vote high notes as my subs seem to have issues playing the 12.5KKhz stuff....maybe I need more bass boost

low

is that because thay move more at a lower note and move less at a high note.

I think it depends on if the sub is playing below tuning in a ported box. Say the box is tuned for 35hz, and you play a 20hz tone all day full tilt, the sub has no control over it's cone, and things become crazy. The sub can go into over-excursion causing the coil to come out of the gap, or the sub can literally just tear it's self apart. High notes won't have this problem.... I guess unless you tune your box to 50hz and play 30hz note songs all day.

If you don't put a reasonable lpf, your sub will

1) sound like shit

2) make distress signal like : brrrrrrrrrrrrrpp.... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

On the low end, I guess it's more a power and tuning question, just don't let it bottoming out
