Subwoofer for music, how low?


I am looking for a pair of subs for music. I plan on having four if the two can blend with my speakers.

I have the Tekton Double Impact and tomorrow I will get a set of Buchardt S400Mk2.

I have been looking at the REL T/9x but the only go down to 27Hz at -3db. Should a sub not go down to 20Hz?

I live in Denmark so I have fewer options. I really like the swarm sub array but to costly to get it to Denmark.

I am looking for recommendations. It could be DIY or a specific sub.

I am open for suggestions

 

Merry Christmas

Food for thought:  Kick drum fundamental can be around 50 to 90 hertz.  Bass guitar fundamentals are 40 to 400 hertz.  Lowest note on the piano is 27.5 hertz.  A Roland 808 drum machine kick drum (used extensively in rap music) has fundamentals around 60 hertz. There is a lot of energy in the 50 to 80 hertz area in most recorded pop/rock/country/R&B/Folk, etc., music.

I'm also using the SVS isolation feet on my JBL subs and they really work.  My pictures have stopped rattling and dropping to the floor.
