A Bass Question


A 20hz wave form takes approximately 27.5 feet to flow out evenly with no time delay. My room is roughly 21 1/2 by 19 with a few cutouts for a walkin closet and a few little offsets. The speakers are along the longer wall.
Given that the room will not completely support the bottom octave, would it be better to have a speaker with less than full range? What is there a formula for figuring what wavelength will most perfectly fit the room?
Would adding subs with a high pass filter accomodate the rest and make things easier overall?
Thanks in advance for your advice and even remarks
Enjoy and happy new year

In my opinion, I wouldn't expend any resources to try to accomodate a 20hz sound wave considering that probably 98% of recorded music (classical, jazz, blues, bluegrass or other acoustic rock) does not reach those depths. Also, does your "SYSTEM" really get that low anyhow???
