When viewing general specifications for guitar speakers, the frequency response curve often displays a larger frequency range than what's listed under the "Frequency Range". If the listed frequency range is 70-5000Hz, yet the frequency response curve shows activity below 70 Hz, is the speaker audibly reproducing the extended lower range in the plot? If so, what is the listed "Frequency Range" actually denoting?
The frequency response plots, as well as the operating characteristics,
come from the marketing department, not the engineering department.
Sure, the speaker will reproduce something below 70 Hz, but as a guitar
player, you probably don't need it. What they want you to believe is
that it will do a good job as a guitar amplifier speaker, which,
hopefully, is why you're buying it.
The raw stated or plotted frequency response of a loudspeaker is more
theoretical than practical, since in the real world, it's a function of
the amplifier, the enclosure, and even the wiring between the amplifier
and speaker voice coil.
