I built two bass subwoofers using down firing 8 inch drivers mounted on the ends of cement drain pipes that were fast and tight. I also built a folded fifteen foot Helmholtz resonator for mounting in a room corner that was tuned for very low frequencies. But these days I really do find the sound including the bass is most appealing not only without subwoofers but without speakers, without cables, without transformers, without capacitors, without house AC, without fuses. Just a small portable headphone set up. No, it won't go down to 25 Hz, but boy is it tuneful and coherent.

Hi Geoff,
Thanks for taking the time to write, good stuff. I have been known to play invisible upright bass from time to time, it went down to almost inaudible frequencies.
