Zippyy,

20 Hz = 20 cycles per second. A 20 hz sound wave is 56.6 ft long peak-peak.

Here is a link to a calculator which also list the formula:

Sarcher30,

Swampwalker offers some good advice. If you are going to the expense of building a dedicated room, get some professional advice. I've never used Rives, but I've checked out their website and their rates seem to be very reasonable. For possibly less than the price of a component upgrade you can get a customized room layout showing size, materials, etc. Heck, if you get it right the first time using professional advice, it could actually save you money in the long run as it might prevent unnecessary upgrades in an attempt to overcome bad room acoustics.

Just my $.02 worth......

Enjoy,
