better bass than 50hz? -Bob Bernstein.
You'll get plenty of bass. Below the lowest axial modal frequency (about 50 Hz
in this case) you'll get a 12-dB per octave reinforcement as frequency falls.)
Your biggest probelm is modes stacked at 50 Hz with the ceiling at 70 Hz
(assuming an 8-foot ceiling) and a predominance of energy building up between
50 and 70 Hz.
This is all easily equalizable with even a 1/3 octave equalizer. A single cut
at 50 or 62 Hz will most likely cure things. And you'll have low bass that most
people will just dream of.
The Urban Legend myth that small spaces can't "support" long wavelenght signals
is simply wrong. If it were true then you'd never be able to hear sounds below
about 2000 Hz with closed back headphones.
