Why do you guys pursue a flat frequency response when you buy a subwoofer?


As we all know, most audiophiles spend a fortune for that flat frequency response displayed on the manufacturer's specs when you buy a subwoofer. Why do you do this? The minute you put that flat sub in your room and take some measurements, it is anything but flat (it's a rollercoaster with all kinds of peaks/nulls etc, EQ to the rescue).....So, why do you dudes continue to look for the flat line? What's going on in your mind when you're shopping around?

If you wan5 fast responses check out the Svs 3000 or ultra 16 
they have 52 bit processors built in and monitor any variations 
in milliseconds and are superb with split shaft voice coils Great app and a bunch of other things including free shipping 
and 45 day satisfaction or full money back . I hav3 the SB 3000
for $995 or 2 for $1900 delivered. It best my $1700 JL audio sub 
and beat any Rel it is the only great sub with an app the split pole voice coil works only 5he inner part at low volume which is very tunefull, when more power is needed uses the larger outer part 
of the voice coil and goes down to a true 18 HZ.
