I put my sub at F-3, and then they had that earthquake in Japan. At first I felt guilty, but now I'm like whatevs, it's just so LOOOOOOOW.

Its not my subwoofers, they're functioning jusstt fine, and hell even my older tracks the sub still sounds fine. Im just thinking maybe its that C2 is too low.

Sumised question: what's the best note for a sub to get that traditional rattle/vibration, without going too low?

F1

F U

To get the "traditional rattle/vibration", pick any of the notes from between 30hz and 60hz. I like e, f, and g in that range.
Indeed some of you have your oscillator an octave high if you're talking about using E0. It's not even on this list:

I find this a helpful tool for subbass frequencies and notes:
