No real need to go below the bottom B on a five string, but play that note on a 12” sub and an 18” sub and it sounds very, very different. I would go so far to say that 12” subs make tuning a bottom B impossible. What people tuning by ear are doing is tuning via the harmonics. That bottom B from a band limited sub is just a low noise. The 18” is more of a single tone, but play the string with a pick and try the 12” to 18” test. A good test is michael jacksons Billy Jean track. Play it on only the subs and try to pick out what the notes are. Not the higher ones of course, but some in the sub’s range. Adding a few dB of mush is pointless.</blockquote>
