The best sounding subwoofers I ever heard were in the home of a TAS
reviewer.  They were simplicity at its quintessence.  Two 18" Hartley
drivers mounted in the floor with a 20" x 20" cold-air return grate as
the cover and insulation batting hung loosely around the underside.  The
crossover was at 50Hz.  The sound was tight, accurate and AWESOME all
the way down to where it became a "feeling" not a sound (<16Hz).
