Nondirectional & Inaudible Bass: What Frequencies?


Hello. A few quick technical questions: I am curious as to what frequency bass goes "nondirectional." I saw a reference in print to it being around 100-125Hz, but that doesn't seem right to me. Does the room have an effect or is it purely psychoacoustic?

Also, wondering at what frequency bass becomes inaudible. Thanks much!

In my listening room 65hz seems to be a point where I can no longer notice it's origin.80hz is very locatable.Wish i knew why.A single sub exites the room at certain locations and not others.Two subs in opposite corners exite the room at different locations,mostly "spreading" the sound out more.While putting two in one corner only increases bass out put in the same location as the first.I have seen my subs peaking front to back at freq below 18hz and for what ever the reason the room never reenforces it.No matter where i put the sub.Confused?so are the pro's
