This thread is awesome. Just read through taking notes - going to stick it up next to my computer screen.
Soon I'll be on my way to making Grandad shit in his Y-fronts.

I don't want to call it a rule... but this is the basic
suggestion that I usually try to follow. With that said, I pumped out a song in C recently, and it definitely felt a lot
lighter as far as bass. Could just be my system, though.

Can anyone point me towards a simple, free program that allows you to just pick an MP3 then see a frequency chart of it?
Exact Audio Copy (EAC) should do the trick, google it

I'm pretty sure that some Loefah tunes peak around 30.
Also, does anyone know how low the frequency response of Funktion One soundsystems goes ? Could they play infrasound at, say, 15 hertz ?

This one says 25hz but you can check the rest of the website.
Using saw-waves instead of sines won't allow you to go lower in your sub?

Resonant Bass Frequencies:
43-44Hz (Low F) - Resonant in everything from shitty stock car stereo to a system with 2 12's in
a ported box.
41Hz (Low E) - Same as F.
46Hz (Low F#) - Has pretty much the same tonality and resonance as F at 43Hz, but this is
a bit punchier and not as sluggish.
50-51Hz (Low G#) - A Better choice of sub bass for bangers if you mainly want it to hit in stock
car stereos. Any system with subs will still hit it well but will cry out for that low 43 or 35.
A Milli by Lil Wayne hits here and so does Tempered by Rustie and Joker.
59Hz (Low A#) - About as high as you want to get with sub bass imo. IMO. IMO. I'd only lay on
this note for some short passages, take Gold Dust by Flux for example.
38-39Hz (Low D#) - This is just about the same as 43hz or 41hz, except most stock car speakers
go dead after 40hz. This shit hit's hard with some subs though.
35Hz (Low C#) - Once you get this low you're mainly only looking at people with subs.
Generally, cheaper more entry level subs hit down to around 35hz comfortably and then they
start to die out. If you/the listener has some nice subs though, this will fucking KNOCK ALL
YOUR SHIT UP.
55Hz (Low A) - Pretty much the same as 51hz.
Good Scales For Bass:
F Minor = F (43Hz), G, G# (50Hz), A# (59Hz), C, C# (70/35Hz), D# (76/38Hz)

It's not the question of "too low" but rather "too loud"
