Do I remember hearing somewhere that certain really low frequencies can do
you some permanent damage?? Anyone out there know anything about this? I
know we all want to experiment with sound, but maybe we should keep it above
20Hz.  :)

And another thing, could you combine sub bass stuff with surround sound
stuff to create a force in a particular direction???
