Default High effecany mid/high power 2 ohm sub??

Sub-hertz frequencies can be heard, probably through more mechanisms
than the ear, but it stops being a tone somewhere in the 15 to 35 Hz
range. It's how you can sense somebody sneaking up on you. The
millitary has been playing with infrasonics for a while because the
right patterns will eventually drive some people mad or make them sick.



Ummm, no. The very term subsonic means below the threshhold of hearing.
You can FEEL subsonics but you definitely can't hear them. If you're
hearing subsonics it's most likely something in the room making noise or
mechanical noise from the sub.



I can definitely hear sub-20Hz from a subwoofer in a quiet environment.
How this works in a car will be an experiment for BBB. Cabin gain could
provide enough boost to overcome road noise but will infrasonics still
sound right at high levels?



Beside the fact that you CAN'T hear them they'll be fine.
