Not sure how many times this topic has been posted. It all depends on the notes you play, anything lower than your lowest key is a decent place to cut
And you know, about the 2 notes, I am not sure myself, I've wondered this the past month and it doesn't seem to make a difference, plus your kick needs room to breathe as well

Ive messed around with sines tris squares and saws but imo a single sine packs more punch. I usually go for a kick that stills sounds beefy highpassed at 50-60hz as im not a fan of sidechaining subs.

i think its important to not cut too much low end out of your kick... playing it too safe can be unproductive in my experience
Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

well, under 100 hz mostly^^

depends on the track,.. hicut at 90-100hz and lowcut at 20-30hz since noone needs the very very lowend^^ (makes things muddy).

also i like a bit saturation^^

You don't really want to use more then one. Or you could try using a sine wave (or even a low passed square) an octave above and stuff for artistic purposes, but the most powerful sub is just a sine.

Just cut off anything that's not audible on your average system/headphones.

No matter what notes you play, no one gives an ass if they can't hear it.
Mp3 conversion will cut those freqs anyway.
