Duke said, "I'd choose quality bass down to 40 Hz ballpark over somewhat muddy extension down into the bottom octave. An honest 40 Hz is pretty darn deep anyway.
That being said, recently I built a semi-custom four-piece subwoofer system for a customer, and this set is theoretically -3 dB at 16 Hz after room gain. Yes, it does add something that was missing before, and my wife wants me to build us a set. How cool is that - she's actually encouraging me to put BIGGER subs in the living room!"

I for one am not impressed, a THERORETICAL -3db, who cares what you guess a system will do. Measure it and post a picture of the response and we can all be wowed.
How about a system that does +15db at 20 hz and is then extended to 13hz before it starts to drop off.
If you would like to see an ACTUAL measurement of it go here;

An "honest" 40hz really is not low, don't fool yourself.
