Key subwoofer differences include driver sizes of 15" vs 10", and the Velodyne MICROVEE-X digs deeper at 18 Hz (-3dB) vs 19 Hz. Larger drivers move more air, producing deeper bass with less effort. A 15-inch driver reaches lower than a 10-inch at the same power, but the cabinet is proportionally larger. A lower number means deeper bass — the rumble in explosions, the weight of a pipe organ. Below 20 Hz you feel it more than hear it.
